Description:
------------
Apologies in advance if this turns out to be user error, but it seems odd to me. A segmentation fault occurs when evaluating in a switch statement an instance property of an overloaded class with which has a __get() method. It does not matter whether the evaluated property is native to the instance or overloaded. Also, native and overloaded properties on an overloaded class instance don't like to be passed by reference.

If you change the switch statements to cast the argument to (string), as in "switch ((string)$decorator->bar) {" (a memory copy), then the expected result occurs. If you leave either of the switch statements alone there is a crash. Interestingly, with both of the switch statements "fixed" and the block uncommented that calls function reverse_me, the output looks like this:

----%<----
I can see that the value of bar is 'bar' and the value of myVar is 'mine'.
I've tested === and that worked okay.
So did ==.
subst function is okay too.

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /srv/www/htdocs/seagull/www/crash.php on line 54
----%<----

This is a native property on the instance so I can't understand why passing by reference is bad. Turning off overloading produces the expected result there, which is this:

----%<----
I can see that the value of bar is '' and the value of myVar is 'mine'.
I've tested === and that worked okay.
So did ==.
subst function is okay too.
Just passed by myVar by reference and reversed the string. The value is now enim
I am not expecting a switch statemtent on bar to segfault.
Switch says the value of bar is not 'bar'. It's 'baz'.

I am not expecting a switch statemtent on myVar to segfault.
Switch says the value of myVar is not 'mine'. It's 'yours'.
----%<----

I have observed this behaviour in php 4.4.0 and 4.4.2. Very strange.

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://www.jellybee.co.uk/overload_fault.txt

Expected result:
----------------
I can see that the value of bar is 'bar' and the value of myVar is 'mine'.
I've tested === and that worked okay.
So did ==.
subst function is okay too.
I am not expecting a switch statemtent on bar to segfault.
Switch says the value of bar is not 'bar'. It's 'baz'.

I am not expecting a switch statemtent on myVar to segfault.
Switch says the value of myVar is not 'mine'. It's 'yours'.

Actual result:
--------------

Thank you for this. I'm aware that the OO implementation in PHP5 is very different and I intend to use 5 for any serious OO development from now on. However, there is a project I'm working on which requires PHP 4 and needs a drop-in replacement for the PEAR DB libraries within a third-party framework. As support for PHP 4 is still a going concern I decided to raise this ticket. Since posting this bug report, I have also encountered the same problem in PHP 4.3.11. Thank you again for your response.

I am not maintaining this anymore.
 [2006-04-11 17:23 UTC] sniper@php.net
As there is no maintainer and any serious OO stuff should be done with 5.1 anyway -> wont fix. (there are more important things to fix than hacks like this)
