From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: linux 2.2 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: scope of $this and static functions When calling a static function from within another class the $this - reference is not empty, but it points to the class in which you call the static function. To illustrate: class Static { function method() { echo get_class($this); } } class Container { function Container() { Static::method(); } } $Container = new Container(); The output is "Container", but there shouldn't be a reference, because it's not anymore the scope of the reference. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12622&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
