New Comment:

A better workaround is, of course, to just define the
member with "var" in the class header.

But it's still a bug IMHO.

Description:
------------
Creating an array through $obj->a[] or $obj->a[$index]
does not create an array, if you use overloading through
the "__get()" method.

This happens with PHP_5_2 and 5.1.6 from Ubuntu, which
I've also tested.

The workaround seems to be to initialize the member
explicitly to "array()".

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class A
{
function __get($v)
{
// note: even returning array() here won't fix it
}
}


$A = new A();

$A->foo[1] = 1;
var_dump( $A->foo );

$A->foo[] = 2;
var_dump( $A->foo );

$A->foo['a'] = 3;
var_dump( $A->foo );

$A->foo = array();
var_dump( $A->foo );

$A->foo = 1;
var_dump( $A->foo );

?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
[1]=>
int(1)
}
array(2) {
[1]=>
int(1)
[2]=>
int(2)
}
array(3) {
[1]=>
int(1)
[2]=>
int(2)
["a"]=>
int(3)
}
array(0) {
}
int(1)


Actual result:
--------------
NULL
NULL
NULL
array(0) {
}
int(1)
