Description:
------------
I'm using the latest downloadable version of PHP 5.4.2.

See the following code (this code works):
-----------

<?php

class A {
  private $vars;

  public function __get($name) {
    if (!isset($this->vars[$name])) {
      $arrObj = new B();
      $this->vars[$name] = $arrObj;
    }

    $obj = $this->vars[$name];    
    return $obj;    
  }

  
}

class B {
  public $rolename = 'foo';
}


$a = new A;
var_dump($a);
echo $a->role->rolename.PHP_EOL;
$a->role->rolename = 'test';

echo $a->role->rolename;

?>

-----------------

What happends in this code is that i create a simple object "A". From that object i try to get the 'role' property. It doesn't exist, so the magic __get() function is called.

In there i create a B() object and i return the instance of that object. Right after that i'm trying to access the 'rolename' property of the 'B()' object:

echo $a->role->rolename.PHP_EOL;
$a->role->rolename = 'test';

This works. It successfully echo's the rolename and changes it after that.

---------------------

The problem occurs when i return an array with objects:

<?php

class A {
  private $vars;

  public function __get($name) {
    if (!isset($this->vars[$name])) {
      $arrObj = array();
      $arrObj[] = new B();
      $arrObj[] = new B();
      $this->vars[$name] = $arrObj;
    }

    return $this->vars[$name];
  }

  
}

class B {
  public $rolename = 'foo';
}


$a = new A;
var_dump($a);
echo $a->role[0]->rolename.PHP_EOL;
$a->role[0]->rolename = 'test';

echo $a->role[0]->rolename;
?>

------------------

This code gives me the following notice:

"Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded property A::$role has no effect"

Strangely enough it tells me that i can't change the property any more. Or better yet, it has no effect. The only difference is, is that i get the object from an array.

The weird thing is though, that it DOES alter the value of the property, regardless of the notice.

I think the notice shouldn't be displayed in this case. 

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class A {
  private $vars;

  public function __get($name) {
    if (!isset($this->vars[$name])) {
      $arrObj = array();
      $arrObj[] = new B();
      $arrObj[] = new B();
      $this->vars[$name] = $arrObj;
    }

    return $this->vars[$name];
  }

  
}

class B {
  public $rolename = 'foo';
}


$a = new A;
var_dump($a);
echo $a->role[0]->rolename.PHP_EOL;
$a->role[0]->rolename = 'test';

echo $a->role[0]->rolename;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expected that $a->role[0]->rolename = 'test'; simply changed the value of that property, but it generates an unexpected 'notice'.

But: echo $a->role[0]->rolename; does show me that the property was actually changed, regardless of the notice which tells that it can't be changed.
