ID: 61084 User updated by: lx at webactives dot ru Reported by: lx at webactives dot ru Summary: incorrect work with class variable (declared as static) Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: yes, i'm use Late-Static-Binding, but why engine bind variable to class C in context of class A? I'm not extend C from A. I can modify my code for demonstrate necessity late binding: <? error_reporting(E_ALL); class A { static $v = 'A'; function m(){ echo 'var is '.(static::$v); } } class B extends A{ // for use Late-Static-Binding static $v = 'B'; } class C { static $v = 'C'; function test(){ B::m(); } } $test = new C(); $test->test(); ?> Of course, I'm can correctly use static keyword before method m() and problem have solved. But current engine behavior make work logic unpredictable. In doc I have read: "In case of static method calls, this is the class explicitly named (usually the one on the left of the :: operator);" Why PHP engine bind variable context for object caller class and not for class method owner? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-14 17:44:15] ras...@php.net Sorry, slightly misleading explanation there, I guess. But the clue is in the E_STRICT you get: Strict Standards: Non-static method A::m() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context... See the "assuming $this" there? Since you have instantiated class C and you are calling methods non-statically it assumes the non-static context. In the non- static context var is going to be C because of LSB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-14 17:19:52] ras...@php.net I still don't see what is wrong. Forget the fact that you are calling a non- static method statically. That has nothing to do with the inner access to the static property. Because of Late-Static-Binding (see http://php.net/lsb) static::$v will be late-bound to class C so you get the static value from C. This is perfectly correct. If you use self::$v you will be early-bound to A instead. Other than the E_STRICT about calling a non-static method statically, you should get no errors here because you are accessing a static property statically correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-14 17:01:15] lx at webactives dot ru I'm known it, but error message incorrect. You can see it on this code: <? error_reporting(E_ALL); class A { static $v = 'A'; function m(){ echo 'var is '.(static::$v); } } class C { static $v = 'C'; function test(){ A::m(); } } $test = new C(); $test->test(); //display incorrect "var is C" without any error. ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-14 16:24:44] ras...@php.net In PHP 5.3 E_STRICT is not included in E_ALL. Your code does give you an E_STRICT. Use error_reporting(-1); at the top. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-14 15:19:12] lx at webactives dot ru Description: ------------ All configuration standard. Test script: --------------- <? error_reporting(E_ALL); class A { static $v = '123'; function m(){ echo 'var is '.(static::$v); } } class C { function test(){ A::m(); } } $test = new C(); $test->test(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- PHP Fatal error: Access to undeclared static method: A::m() in test.php on line 11 OR STRICT CLASSIC ERROR ONLY Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: C::$v in test.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61084&edit=1
