Dynamic Method Calls in PHP
🔹 Flexible = Great for frameworks
🔹 Risky = Harder to read, debug & refactor

Sometimes, “clever” code hides real dangers.
Be explicit. Be safe. Stay readable.

​While building my new project, https://Coz.jp, I hit an unexpected roadblock.
​The challenge? How to make:
​Multi-language routes (e.g., /en/, /ja/)
​A catch-all route (for link shortening)
​Language switch redirects
​...all coexist without conflicts.
​After several nights of testing complex solutions, I landed on one that I'll be honest about: it's simple, but ugly.
​The Solution:
I have an array of all available languages. I simply loop through that array and define all the main site routes inside the loop.
​It's not the "cleanest" code you'll find in a textbook. But it was the easiest to implement, the most fail-proof, and it allowed me to move forward.
​It's a perfect reminder that in the world of shipping products, a robust, working, and maintainable solution is often better than a theoretically "elegant" one that's complex and brittle.
​Done is better than perfect.
​Have you ever had to choose a "simple but ugly" solution to a tough problem? I'd love to hear your stories.

Most WordPress users aren't programming. They're configuring.

There's a real difference:
- Writing code vs clicking GUI
- Building systems vs combining plugins
- Asking "How do I automate?" vs "Which plugin?"

Like Excel user vs Database engineer.
Like Canva designer vs UX engineer.

Both valid. Different skillsets.

Configuration isn't programming.

A short one-page comic with 5 frames, titled "Local Branch Manager". In the first frame, Ntos, a gray anthro fox, is at his computer programming. He checks out a code branch in his terminal. In the second frame, a regular/feral fox is awoken from his sleep by a bell. The fox then goes over in the third frame to a little hole, labeled as the dot git folder. The little fox scurries and digs around in there, while Ntos in the fourth frame is looking over at the fox slightly confused. Finally, in the fifth frame, the fox has returned from his little hole happily and proudly holding a literal tree branch with a bunch of code files hanging off it, offering it to Ntos.

I find it strange that people still try to keep the function name and the function code the same. A function name should explain the what and the code should tell you how. Because in the place you call it, you should not care how is this calculated, you want the result, and in the function code, you don't care why do you do the calculations, you care what it produces...

I've done some frontend stuff with Astro, Svelte and TailwindCSS for a bit. Astro's server-side magic mixed with Svelte's reactivity makes it a really fascinating experience to create webpages, like my own site that I host on Vercel. Honestly, while HTML is really good for making basic websites, it's not designed for reusable code which makes it really frustrating to refactor multiple components especially if they are used 10+ times. Web frameworks like Vue, Svelte, Astro and whatnot are kind of needed for good DX, at least for those wanting to do *some* frontend dev.

I wanted to try creating a backend using something like Rust, Crystal or Haskell, so that I can understand and how create REST APIs, write a full-stack application, learn how to manage DBs and whatnot. Though I realised I wasn't sure how to proceed in actually making something useful, so I spoke to my IT professor and he suggested a REST application for parking spots, which DID intrigue me enough to actually go ahead and make something. So now I'll just do that.

However, I still need to focus on other courses I'm in, including one where I may have to use my frontend abilities which will be interesting. Maybe I could use this as a way to show my expertise in development, which I've wanted to do for a while. I'm somewhat uneasy with all that I may have to take on, but I think I can balance all that, and college preparation for exams. I'll hope I can at least.

Changing a Readonly Property

So, you know how readonly properties are, well… read-only? Turns out they’re not!

I stumbled upon this mechanism just as PHP started deprecating it — but hey, if you ignore the deprecation warnings, you can still use it up until PHP 9!

A bit of theory first: readonly properties can only be assigned inside a class constructor. After that, they’re supposed to be immutable.

final readonly class ReadonlyClass
{
    public string $someProp;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->someProp = 'unchangeable!';
    }
}

The only official way to set such a property outside the constructor is via reflection — but even then, only if the property hasn’t been initialized yet:

final readonly class ReadonlyClass
{
    public string $someProp;
}
$test = new ReadonlyClass();
$reflection = new ReflectionClass(ReadonlyClass::class)->getProperty('someProp');
$reflection->setValue($test, 'changed once!');
var_dump($test->someProp);
$reflection->setValue($test, 'changed twice?');

This produces the predictable result:

string(13) "changed once!"

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot modify readonly property ReadonlyClass::$someProp

Changing It Multiple Times

Enough stalling — let’s dive in! The magical object that can modify a readonly property (and much more) is ArrayObject.

Normally, you’d use ArrayObject to wrap an array. But it also accepts any object as the backing value — and that’s where the fun begins. Once you know how PHP stores properties internally (which is actually pretty simple), chaos follows.

Let’s start with this class:

final readonly class ReadonlyClass
{
    public string $someProp;
    private string $somePrivateProp;
    protected string $someProtectedProp;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->someProp = 'unchangeable?';
        $this->somePrivateProp = 'unchangeable?';
        $this->someProtectedProp = 'unchangeable?';
    }

    public function getSomePrivateProp(): string
    {
        return $this->somePrivateProp;
    }

    public function getSomeProtectedProp(): string
    {
        return $this->someProtectedProp;
    }
}

Now we create an instance and wrap it in an ArrayObject:

$instance = new ReadonlyClass();
$arrayObj = new ArrayObject($instance);

And now comes the fun part:

// simply use the property name for public properties
$arrayObj['someProp'] = 'changeable public!';
// use "\0[FQN]\0[Property name]" for private properties
$arrayObj["\0ReadonlyClass\0somePrivateProp"] = 'changeable private!';
// use "\0*\0[Property name]" for protected properties
$arrayObj["\0*\0someProtectedProp"] = 'changeable protected!';

var_dump($instance->someProp, $instance->getSomePrivateProp(), $instance->getSomeProtectedProp());

This prints:

string(18) "changeable public!"
string(19) "changeable private!"
string(21) "changeable protected!"

And just like that, you’ve changed an unchangeable property. You can modify it as many times as you want. So… what other arcane tricks are possible?

Changing an Enum Value

Enums are basically fancy objects that represent a specific named instance — optionally with a value. The key difference from old userland implementations is that PHP guarantees every enum case is a unique instance that’s always equal to itself, no matter where it’s referenced from.

In other words, an enum is really just an object, and ->value or ->name are plain properties.

enum MyEnum: string {
    case A = 'a';
    case B = 'b';
}

$arrayObj = new ArrayObject(MyEnum::A);
$arrayObj['value'] = 'b';
$arrayObj['name'] = 'C';

var_dump(MyEnum::A->value);
var_dump(MyEnum::A->name);

This prints exactly what you’d expect after reading the previous example:

string(1) "b"
string(1) "C"

Even more amusing: Running var_dump(MyEnum::A); now prints enum(MyEnum::C).

It won’t actually make it equal to another enum case, but if you use the value somewhere and reconstruct it using MyEnum::from(), you’ll get back MyEnum::B.

If you try to serialize and deserialize it, you’ll get an error — because MyEnum::C doesn’t exist:

var_dump(MyEnum::from(MyEnum::A->value));
var_dump(unserialize(serialize(MyEnum::A)));

The first prints enum(MyEnum::B), while the second throws a warning: Undefined constant MyEnum::C.

Breaking Types

ArrayObject is so powerful that even the type system trembles before it. Types? Mere suggestions!

final class TestTypedClass
{
    public string $str = 'test';
    public bool $bool = true;
    public int $int = 42;
}

$instance = new TestTypedClass();
$arrayObj = new ArrayObject($instance);

$arrayObj['str'] = 5;
$arrayObj['bool'] = 'hello';
$arrayObj['int'] = new stdClass();

var_dump($instance->str, $instance->bool, $instance->int);

Output:

int(5)
string(5) "hello"
object(stdClass)#3 (0) {
}

So if you ever thought “Hmm, this boolean could really use more than two possible values” — now you know how!

Dynamic Properties Everywhere

Some internal classes like Closure, Generator, and DateTime disallow dynamic properties. Nevermore!

$closure = fn () => true;
$arrayObject = new ArrayObject($closure);
$arrayObject['test'] = 'hello';

var_dump($closure->test);
// prints string(5) "hello"

Crashing PHP

And finally — my favourite one! Ever wanted to cause a segmentation fault? Try this:

$exception = new Exception("Hello there!");
$arrayObject = new ArrayObject($exception);
$arrayObject["\0Exception\0trace"] = -1;

var_dump($exception->getTraceAsString());

That gave me one beautiful Segmentation fault (core dumped)!

So, how did you like these all-powerful ArrayObject shenanigans?

Fun with PHP: Changing Readonly Properties and Other Shenanigans

In my early 20s I got my first #programming job at a small #WebDev shop. That's when I bought my first domain & shared #hosting.

It's when I set up my first email address. When everyone I knew had Hotmail... I had something unique.

Well, over 2 decades that single email turned into 2 (personal & professional), then special purpose emails, aliases & throwaways. I have a few gmail accounts too.

All in all I had at my peak, about 3 dozen different #email addresses. 😵‍💫

This is a Problem.
