Question

I’ve implemented the magic functions __get() and __set():

function __get($property) {
        if(isset($this->$property)) {
            return $this->$property;
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

    function __set($property, $value) {
        $this->$property = $value;
    }

The following code works fine:

$connect->Hammer = "DoubleClawed";
echo $connect->Hammer;

However, when I run some of my unit tests, the line:

$this->Id = (int) $configXML->ConfigurationFindResults->Configuration->Id;

Gives me:

Trying to get property of non-object

There are other magically set variables before that that work. I’ve also tested this code using non-magic methods and it works. Why does this line set it off? ($configXML is a SimpleXML object)

Answer 1

Your magic __get and __set look fine to me. (I use the same code in my app).

Your error comes form $configXML->ConfigurationFindResults->Configuration->Id;
