From: Operating system: Windows 7/all PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: Reflection related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Problem with getMethod of ReflectionClass
Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/reflectionclass.getmethod --- If you use getMethod() on a ReflecitonClass Object, for a class, that inherits its method from a parent class, you get a ReflectionMethod Object, that links to the parent class. There is no possibility to get a ReflectionMethod Object, that is connected to the class linked to the ReflectionClass Object. This beheaviour is not nice, if you want to use the ReflectionMethod Object to call a static method. We could not figure out a possibility to call the method on the child class. A second argument on getMethod() would be nice. It could be a flag, wether getMethod should return a ReflectionMethod object, which is connected to the class where the method was defined or an object which is connected to the class, that was used for the ReflectionClass. Test script: --------------- class ParentClass { public static function foo(){ echo get_called_class(); } } class ChildClass extends MainClass { } $class = new ReflectionClass('ChildClass'); $method = $class->getMethod('foo'); $method->invoke(null); // outputs ParentClass instead of expected ChildClass Expected result: ---------------- ChildClass Actual result: -------------- ParentClass -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53357&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53357&r=mysqlcfg
