ID: 52439 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: shiranai7 at hotmail dot com Summary: Static and non-static variable name collision in a class declaration Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Win PHP Version: 5.3.3 New Comment: We have one property table per class. And a property in a class can have a static flag, so there can't be two of that name, there are things like reflection which depend on this. This is expected and won't change. Sorry if you don't like it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-25 18:17:07] shiranai7 at hotmail dot com Not a bug? What is this supposed to be then? Correct behavior? I think not. This is not a "support question". I am just reporting that PHP behaves wrong - treats static and non-static variable as one in first example. Do I really have to explain that static variable is not THE SAME as non-static variable and that I am NOT redeclaring anything? Duh. And - if you are about to reply with another silly predefined answer then better don't answer at all, thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-25 17:50:44] [email protected] Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-25 17:48:33] shiranai7 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ It seems impossible to have two variables - one static and one not - with same name in a class declaration. But these are two completely different variables! Test script: --------------- <?php // this results in a fatal error class Test { public static $Foo = 'iamstatic'; public $Foo = 'iamNOTstatic'; } // this works class Test { public static $Foo = 'iamstatic'; } $Baz = new Test(); $Baz->Foo = 'iamNOTstatic'; echo $Baz->Foo."\n"; echo Test::$Foo; /* Result: iamNOTstatic iamstatic */ ?> Expected result: ---------------- No errors. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Test::$Foo in *path* on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52439&edit=1
