 Description:
------------
Summary:
--------
When we used virtual variables exploiting __get magic method, we received "Fatal error" message.
We have experienced using 'while' loop statement rather than 'foreach' for the example, but it result same fatal error.
Reproduce code:
---------------
	class TheObj {
		public $RealMatArr;
		public $Var = array();
		function __set($var, $val) {
			$this->Var[$var] = $val;
		}
		function __get($var) {
			if(isset($this->Var[$var])) return $this->Var[$var];
			else return -1;
		}
	}
	$SomeObj = new TheObj;
	// this will fine
	$SomeObj->RealMatArr = array(
		"One" => array("11", "12", "13"), 
		"Two" => array("21", "22", "23"), 
		"Three" => array("31", "32", "33"));
	$SomeObj->VirtualMatArr = array(
		"One" => array("11", "12", "13"), 
		"Two" => array("21", "22", "23"), 
		"Three" => array("31", "32", "33"));
	// this will fine too
	foreach($SomeObj->RealMatArr as $indX => $dataX) {
		foreach($dataX as $indY => $dataY) {
			print "RealMatArr[$indX][$indY] = $dataY\n";
		}
	}
	// this will encounter 'Fatal error' message
	foreach($SomeObj->VirtualMatArr as $indX => $dataX) {
		foreach($dataX as $indY => $dataY) {
			print "VirtualMatArr[$indX][$indY] = $dataY\n";
		}
	}
	// but the fatal error will no longer when we modified the lines below:
	$arrval = $SomeObj->VirtualMatArr;
	foreach($arrval as $indX => $dataX) {
		foreach($dataX as $indY => $dataY) {
			print "VirtualMatArr[$indX][$indY] = $dataY\n";
		}
	}
Expected result:
----------------
RealMatArr[One][0] = 11
RealMatArr[One][1] = 12
RealMatArr[One][2] = 13
RealMatArr[Two][0] = 21
RealMatArr[Two][1] = 22
RealMatArr[Two][2] = 23
RealMatArr[Three][0] = 31
RealMatArr[Three][1] = 32
RealMatArr[Three][2] = 33
VirtualMatArr[One][0] = 11
VirtualMatArr[One][1] = 12
VirtualMatArr[One][2] = 13
VirtualMatArr[Two][0] = 21
VirtualMatArr[Two][1] = 22
VirtualMatArr[Two][2] = 23
VirtualMatArr[Three][0] = 31
VirtualMatArr[Three][1] = 32
VirtualMatArr[Three][2] = 33
Actual result:
--------------
RealMatArr[One][0] = 11
RealMatArr[One][1] = 12
RealMatArr[One][2] = 13
RealMatArr[Two][0] = 21
RealMatArr[Two][1] = 22
RealMatArr[Two][2] = 23
RealMatArr[Three][0] = 31
RealMatArr[Three][1] = 32
RealMatArr[Three][2] = 33
Fatal error:  Cannot access undefined property for object with overloaded property access in e:\www\Project1\latihan\obj2.php on line 37

Summary: -------- The Fatal error is no longer when we tried from the feedback (tony2001). But we have another experiences while we applied 'unset' statement such as below: // we will try unset these variables, and it's work unset($SomeObj->RealMatArr["Two"]); unset($SomeObj->RealMatArr["Three"][1]); // now we will try unset the whole variable array below unset($SomeObj->RealMatArr); // ofcourse, this will raises warning since the variable is no longer available (it's work) foreach($SomeObj->RealMatArr as $indX => $dataX) { foreach($dataX as $indY => $dataY) { print "RealMatArr[$indX][$indY] = $dataY\n"; } } // then we will try unset these variables, and it's work unset($SomeObj->VirtualMatArr["Two"]); unset($SomeObj->VirtualMatArr["Three"][1]); // then next we will unset the whole of this variable array as below unset($SomeObj->VirtualMatArr); // but, this will raises no warning as we never unset it before??? reset($SomeObj->VirtualMatArr); while(list($indX, $dataX) = each($SomeObj->VirtualMatArr)) { while(list($indY, $dataY) = each($dataX)) { print "VirtualMatArr[$indX][$indY] = $dataY\n"; } } We have no knowledge about the reason, but maybe the reason is the same as the posted feedback (dmitry) at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33512. Thanks.
