From: Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Closures have invalid context
Description: ------------ It doesn't make sense that closures declared inside methods are run with global context instead of the same context as the method. This is incredibly annoying as it there are no way to reference private/protected functions in closures. It's not possible to acquire a reference to the private/protected functions and pass them to the closure either so you're locked out from a developers perspective. See test script. The fix should be simple. Just inherit the access-context when closures are declared... Test script: --------------- class Foo { private function bar($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } public function baz($c) { $biz_fn = function($c) { return Foo::bar(5, 4) - $c; }; return $biz_fn($c); } } $foo = new Foo(); echo $foo->baz(3); Expected result: ---------------- "6" Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to private method Foo::bar() from context '' in.. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54202&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54202&r=mysqlcfg
