Description:
------------
Assigning an array to an object field and updating it through use of __get/__set() no longer works in PHP 5.2 snapshots. This is probably related to the fix for bug 37667.

Below is a test case based on the one in bug 37667, which is similar to a larger real code base we have working in PHP 5.1.4.

This test case does not trigger bug 37667 because we create the array through __set() - bug 37667 does not set the new array this way.

"Expected result" shows output in PHP 5.1.4
"Actual result" shows output in PHP5.2-200607140630

Running on apache 2.2.2.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
header("Content-type: text/plain");

class Class1 {
  protected $property = array();
  function __get($name) {
    return $this->property;
  }
  function __set($name, $val) {
    $this->$name = $val;
  }
}
class Class2 {}
$r = new Class1();
$r->property = array();
$r->property["what"] = new Class2();
$r->property["who"] = new Class2();
var_dump($r);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
object(Class1)#1 (1) {
  ["property:protected"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["what"]=>
    object(Class2)#2 (0) {
    }
    ["who"]=>
    object(Class2)#3 (0) {
    }
  }
}


Actual result:
--------------
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Cannot use array returned from Class1::__get('property') in write context in <b>/devel2/frode/www/_/test37667.php</b> on line <b>16</b><br />
