Bug description: PHP Scope resolution operator
Description:
------------
I am using php 5.2.5 version. I was testing the functionality of the scope
resolution operator. In php.net site it stated that "The Scope Resolution
Operator (also called Paamayim Nekudotayim) or in simpler terms, the double
colon, is a token that allows access to static, constant, and overridden
members or methods of a class.". Now if you check my following code:
class MyClass{
public function showMyName(){
echo "My Name";
}
}
>From the above code, I am able to access the showMyName() method without
creating any object, with the help of scope resolution operator, like:
MyClass::showMyName();
If you check my code you can see that I have never declared the method as
a static method. Show how I am able to access that method with the scope
resolution operator. I think this is violating the OOPs rule.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class MyClass{
public function showMyName(){
echo "My Name";
}
}
MyClass::showMyName();
Expected result:
----------------
Should generate an error.
Actual result:
--------------
My Name
