ID: 52386 User updated by: laszlo dot janszky at gmail dot com Reported by: laszlo dot janszky at gmail dot com Summary: ReflectionClass scope problem Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Reflection related Operating System: xp PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: Ok. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-22 05:01:45] ahar...@php.net That's by design -- reflection's not intended to provide a backdoor around the usual access specification mechanism. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-21 13:16:16] laszlo dot janszky at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Maybe it's not a bug, but I cannot call private or protected methods from within a class by ReflectionClass. Test script: --------------- <?php

class Test
{
	static public function instance()
	{
		$class=new ReflectionClass(get_called_class());
		return $class->newInstanceArgs(func_get_args());
	}
	
	private function __construct()
	{}
}

Test::instance(); Expected result: ---------------- Create a new instance. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Access to non-public constructor of class Test' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52386&edit=1
