ID: 55789 Updated by: s...@php.net Reported by: kashpur dot kostya at gmail dot com Summary: Late Static Bindings -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows7 PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Declare inst() as static if you call it statically. Otherwise PHP interprets it as a dynamic, which for BC reasons is allowed.

And if I try to call B::inst() not under some class it works fine. Test script: --------------- class A { public static $_a = null; private function __construct() {} private function __clone() {} public function inst() { if (is_null(static::$_a)) { static::$_a = new static(); } return static::$_a; } } class B extends A { } class C { public function __construct() { B::inst(); } } Expected result: ---------------- B::$_a Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: C::$_a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55789&edit=1
