Description:
------------
When I extend the ArrayObject class, I cannot override any of the functions offsetXXX. Also when using var_dump i see only "Array" element and I don't see my new public property $name.

I suppose the second thing is a bug. But the first one is maybe a feature that one cannot override internal PHP functions.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class AO2 extends ArrayObject {
	public $name;
	public function offsetGet ($index) {
		echo "Calling offsetGet for index $index\n";
		return parent::offsetGet ($index);
	}
}

$a = new AO2();
$a->name = "123";
$a[5] = 'Hi';
echo "a[5] = {$a[5]}\n";;
echo "a->name = {$a->name}\n";;
var_dump($a);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Calling offsetGet for index 5
a[5] = Hi
a->name = 123
object(AO2)#1 (1) {
  [5]=>
  string(2) "Hi"
  ["name"]=>
  string(3) "123"
}


Actual result:
--------------
a[5] = Hi
a->name = 123
object(AO2)#1 (1) {
  [5]=>
  string(2) "Hi"
}

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

As tony answered double check the documentation for your var_dump problem and then look into ext/spl/tests for the array tests that make use of ArrayObject flags. Furthermore what you want only works with 5.1.

Thanks for the fix. You are really fast:)

Now my offsetGet is called.

And about setFlags - I see that it is not documented yet, so I cannot see any information about it in the documentation. I see also that setFlags has only two values. 0 shows array elements and 1 shows other properties. Maybe there should be an option to show both of them. 

Thanks again!
