I want to get &$object changed in array stuff. I feel PHP seems to work in a strange way.

    private function set_property($propertyPath, &$object, $value)
    {
        $targetObject = &$object;

        if (is_object($targetObject) && property_exists($targetObject, $lastProperty)) {

            // &$object is successfully modified

            $targetObject->{"aaa"} = $value;
        } else if (isset($targetObject) && is_array($targetObject)) {

            // &$object fails in being modified

            $targetObject["aaa"] = $value;
        }
    }

I am doing this one, but the thing is that I want to walk through an object and array mixed stuff.

How can I get/set a property dynamically having a path without recursion?

  • Does your object extends ArrayObject? How does it fails? Error or just not modified? You can't simply access object with [] notation, it's not JS Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 6:20
  • Does this answer your question? PHP object like array Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 6:20
  • The code you've shared works for me. Whatever the issue is, it must be somewhere else. Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 6:22
