ID: 54543 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: [email protected] Summary: Late Static Binding on Properties and/or Inheritance -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Expected behavior. LSB applies to properties, but in PHP it was decided to have static properties shared between classes and their subclasses (via a reference set), possibly so that they can reliably be used in a non-static contexts. This behavior can be changed by redeclaring the property or manually breaking the reference set (possibly this ought to be documented). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-15 22:46:25] [email protected] Description: ------------ Should late static binding also apply to properties? My test here I would have expected each result to be different, not the value of the last created object. It is counter-intuitive to work on methods and not properties. I would expect this behaviour with self:: but not static:: inb4 "we rejected this multiple times" i do not actually care about the object class name like in my example, that was just an easy demo case. Test script: --------------- <?php // [bob@cairne:test]$ php static.php // value: two two two class old { static $prop = 'old'; public function __construct() { static::$prop = get_class($this); } } class one extends old { } class two extends old { } $one = new one; $two = new two; printf("value: %s %s %s\n",old::$prop,one::$prop,two::$prop); ?> Expected result: ---------------- value: old one two Actual result: -------------- value: two two two ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54543&edit=1
