Submitted: 2010-10-13 17:49 UTC Modified: 2010-10-15 15:30 UTC

Description:
------------
I have an object I created from class Post.

$p = new Post();

get_class($p) will return the class Post.

After I assign a variable to the class using the magic method __set

$p->datereceived = "1234";

get_class($p) will return stdClass.

Test script:
---------------
$p = new Post();
print(get_class($p)); // returns Post
$p->datereceived = "1234";
print(get_class($p)); // returns stdClass.

Expected result:
----------------
The classname of Post should be returned twice.

Actual result:
--------------
Post is returned the first time, stdClass is returned the second time.

Please provide a complete reproduction script, preferably (well) under 50 lines of code.

For the record, I can't reproduce this with the following script:

<?php
class C {
    public function __set($name, $value) {
        $this->$name = $value;
    }
}

$c = new C;
var_dump(get_class($c));
$c->foo = 'bar';
var_dump(get_class($c));
?>

I think this was happening because I was trying to pull an object out of an array by the wrong key.  Sorry to waste your time.
