POPHP - Protected property is not accessible from the same class of Zend 1 library so magic __set() gets used and errors
text
Body
copied!<p>The application that I am building runs locally but on the staging server flags up:</p> <pre><code>Zend_Form_Exception: Invalid attribute "_name"; must not contain a leading underscore </code></pre> <p>The problem is due to line 500 of /library/Zend/Form/Element.php (Zend version 1) in which is sets:</p> <pre><code>$this->_name = $name; </code></pre> <p>On staging (but not local), the magic __set() method ends up being used which fails because Zend will not allow a property that looks like it is private (by dint of the underscore) to be set by the function used in __set():</p> <pre><code>$this->setAttrib($key, $value); </code></pre> <p>I am trying to work out why the magic method ends up getting used since if -- before line 500 -- I add:</p> <pre><code>if (!property_exists($this, '_name')) die(); </code></pre> <p>I can tell that it knows that the property exists. The property is defined in the same class, so essentially:</p> <pre><code>class Zend_Form_Element implements Zend_Validate_Interface { protected $_name; public function __construct($spec, $options = null) { $this->setName($spec); } public function setName($name) { $this->_name = $name; } public function __set($key, $value) { $this->setAttrib($key, $value); } } </code></pre> <p>What reason could there be for the magic method being used rather than just setting <code>_name</code> in the normal way?</p>
