Description: ------------ In some cases, PHP doesn't handle the visibility correctly, allowing a private or protected member to be directly accessed via $obj->prop This seems to happen when a class stores instances of itself and tries to access their properties. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class bar { private $a; private $children = array(); public function __construct($infiniteDepth) { $this->a = 'foo'; if ($infiniteDepth) $this->children[] = new self(false); } public function privateAcces() { foreach ($this->children as $child) { echo $child->a; // here is the bug } } } $t = new toto(true); $t->privateAcces(); Expected result: ---------------- fatal error as we access the private 'a' property from a non-$this context Actual result: -------------- the property gets read correctly, as if it was public -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44854&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44854&r=mysqlcfg
