New Comment:
The situation with methods is easier : one private method (static or
not) can exclusively be accessed from the same context (class body)
where it was declared.
I think it is more powerfull the other way : when a class declares a
method should can invoque it on an object of an inherited class.

Description:
------------
Context visibility of inherited private attributes when they apply
to child classes.
When a private attribtue is inherited, it's still accessible from
the context (base class) where it was declared and it becomes
accessible from the child context (unidirectional visibility).
But when this attribute is static (class attribute), it becomes
inaccessible from every context : the base class and the child
class.
I don't know if it's the normal behavior, anyway I find it strange
and it could be documented.
Thanks
Reproduce code:
---------------
class a {
private $v ;
private static $w ;
function f($c) {
$c -> v = 'asdf' ;
$c :: $w = 'fdsa' ;
}
}
class b extends a {
function g($c) {
$c -> v = 'asdf' ;
$c :: $w = 'fdsa' ;
}
}
$a = new a() ;
$b = new b() ;
$a-> f($a) ;
$a-> f($b) ;
$b -> f($b) ;
$b -> g($b) ;
Expected result:
----------------
no errors
Actual result:
--------------
A - protected static $w ;
all is ok
B - private static $w ;
1 : $a-> f($a) ; -> ok
2 : $a-> f($b) ; -> Cannot access property b::$w
3 : $b -> f($b) ; -> Cannot access property b::$w
4 : $b -> g($b) ; -> Cannot access property b::$w
2,3,4 : b:$w is accessible from nowhere.
The errors are not :
- Access to undeclared static property
- Cannot access private property
