CWebUser's magic __get function overrides my parent function

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I have configured my app to use my own WebUser component like this:




'components'=>array(

		'user'=>array(

                'class'=>'application.components.WebUser',

	      ),

...

My WebUser component looks like this:




class WebUser extends RWebUser {  // RWebUser extends CWebUser

    

    public function prefix() {

        ...

    }

}

And when I call the prefix function like this:




$this->tablePrefix = Yii::app()->user->prefix();

I get an error with this stacktrace:




#0 yiiframework/web/auth/CWebUser.php(108): CComponent->__get('')

#1 public_html/oms/protected/components/WebUser.php(<img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8)' />: CWebUser->__get('')

#2 public_html/oms/protected/components/DbConnection.php(11): WebUser->prefix()

#3 yiiframework/YiiBase.php(211): DbConnection->__construct()

So instead of WebUser->prefix() the magic get function is called without an argument. Why??

UPDATE:

I found the bug. In the prefix function I called $this->$property. :-[

you named your class RWebUser no? that’s what you should put in your config
