From: Operating system: *nix PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:type hinting with "self" keyword causes weird errors
Description: ------------ "self" should be thought as "the class where the keyword is written in". Here is then a strange behavior using inheritance : Test script: --------------- class Foo { public function setSelf(self $s) { } } class Bar extends Foo { public function setSelf(self $s) { } } Expected result: ---------------- Strict Standards as Bar::setself() signature doesn't respect Foo::setSelf() signature. Foo's one has a type hint on Foo (using self keyword), but Bar's one on Bar (still using self keyword) : the methods then have a signature mismatch, and PHP should complain about that Actual result: -------------- Nothing happens. Trying this gives the correct E_STRICT error, correct behavior : class Foo { public function setSelf(Foo $s) { } } class Bar extends Foo { public function setSelf(Bar $s) { } } -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60573&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60573&r=mysqlcfg
