What is the easiest way of testing whether a call to __set() has been
successful?
At the moment doing
$success = ($foo->bar = "fred");
echo $success
returns "fred", even though the __set function returns TRUE.
Any thoughts?

whatever happens to or during $foo->bar being set, you are doing a double
assignment...tw o variables being given the same assignment. 'fred' is NOT
being piped to $success through $foo. further, if bar is a *defined*
interface of $foo, __set() will NEVER be called. __set() is meant to handle
*undefined* interfaces the caller is trying to use...a good place to say,
'invalid property accessed'.

Give your object a property:
public $successful_set ;
And then have your __set() function set $successful_set to TRUE or FALSE
whenever it is called.
Then after running $foo->bar='fred', you can just check
$foo->successful_set .

Good idea! Thinking outside the box. The mark of a creative programmer!

not to take anything away from toby, but that's pretty standard...not very
out-of-the-box at all. however, toby has them often, so pointing this out is
not to his detriment. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I just upgraded my Python install, and for the first time have True and

how they work (for instance, "if 9:" and "if True:" both lead to the
conditional being executed, but True == 9 -> False, that this would be true
was not obvious to me -- "True is True" is True, while "9 is True" is false
even though 9 evaluates to True.) Anyhow, in doing my tests, I...

Hi All,
I'm reasonably proficient with C#, and am starting with php5. I was happy
to learn of the __get and __set methods, but am encountering a problem using
them to set an object property of type "array".
Below is a simple example of the problem I'm having with a sample object
"Article", which has an array property "authors". As you can see, I can't
even use standard php array syntax to set a single author, even though the
same...

I am fairly new to ASP--I have been using it about 2 months. I did these
tests (below), and it doesn't make sense to me. False is equal to 0, and
that's fine. True should be equal to 1, but it's not. Actually, True
should be equal to anything but False, null, and 0. Is there a workaround
for this? Or do I need to change all my comparisons to = 1 instead of =
true?

is it the __set() purpose to be called if a property exists in the
object but is out of the scope.
or is it only to be used for 'undefined instance properties'.
