Bug description: self doesn't refer to the class from which i called a static
function
Description:
------------
When I call Bar::aaa(); I expect the self keyword to refer to the Bar
class, even if aaa() is defined in a class which Bar extends.
The behavior I observe is that, if aaa() is defined in a class Foo which
Bar extends, even when I call Bar::aaa(), self refers to Foo.
In this case the self keyword is not actually that much use, since if I
type "self" in the definition of the Foo class, I know the class name and
might as well type "Foo".
I had hoped that the self keyword would enable me to override some static
functions from a parent class, without forcing me to override the static
functions which call them.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Foo
{
public static function aaa()
{
return self::bbb();
}
public static function bbb()
{
return 'Foo';
}
}
class Bar extends Foo
{
public static function bbb()
{
return 'Bar';
}
}
var_dump(Bar::aaa());
Expected result:
----------------
string(3) "Bar"
Actual result:
--------------
string(3) "Foo"
