ID: 55559 Comment by: no at mailinator dot com Reported by: info at strictcoding dot co dot uk Summary: ReflectionClass::getProperties() wrongly returns static properties Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Reflection related Operating System: Fedora 15 PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2011-08-31 (SVN) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: uh, no, this *is* a bug. those flags are being logically OR'd with each other and are supposed to act as *filters*. consider the following: i want to find a file with permissions "------rw-" (read/write access for public only). lets say i have these flags to work with: OWNER_READ OWNER_WRITE OWNER_EXECUTE GROUP_READ GROUP_WRITE GROUP_EXECUTE PUBLIC_READ PUBLIC_WRITE PUBLIC_EXECUTE i should only have to specify (PUBLIC_READ | PUBLIC_WRITE) to match "------rw-" *exactly*. well, according to you, owner and group members also belong to the public, so they should be implicitly included, and the search will match "rw-rw- rw". what? this is a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-15 15:54:34] il...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The purpose would be to allow you to retrieve only the static properties, no bug here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-31 23:40:55] info at strictcoding dot co dot uk I can see your point, however what would be the purpose of IS_STATIC then? The whole point of the filter parameter, IMO, is to ask for a property which either IS_PUBLIC, or IS_PUBLIC *and* IS_STATIC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-31 22:28:57] johan...@php.net A static property is also a public property. I can see where you are coming from but I'm not sure I want to follow the logic. Maybe we'd need "negative" filters, while this makes it quite complex so I'd then again prefer filtering it from the outside. As then you really have all the freedom. $non_private_properties = array_filter($r->getProperties(), function ($p) { return !$p->isPublic(); }); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-31 22:14:27] info at strictcoding dot co dot uk Description: ------------ When used without ReflectionProperty::IS_STATIC, ReflectionClass::getProperties() still returns static properties. Test script: --------------- class A { public static $x; } $r = new ReflectionClass('A'); print_r($r->getProperties(ReflectionProperty::IS_PUBLIC)); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => ReflectionProperty Object ( [name] => x [class] => A ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55559&edit=1
