ID: 62441 Updated by: larue...@php.net Reported by: eric at wepay dot com Summary: Incorrect strong typing in namespaced child classes -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: OS X, CentOS PHP Version: 5.3.14 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: zend_compile.c:2997 } else if (strchr(proto_class_name, '\\') != NULL || (colon = zend_memrchr(fe_class_name, '\\', fe_class_name_len)) == NULL || strcasecmp(colon+1, proto_class_name) != 0) { //this line thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-28 22:08:54] eric at wepay dot com Description: ------------ If a namespaced class extends a non-namespaced abstract class, typehinted method parameters are not checked correctly by the interpreter. The code sample shows this best, but basically the child class implementing the abstract methods isn't correctly checking how namespaces will apply to typehinted parameters as they were declared in the base class. While the code aesthetically looks the same, the parser (as expected) interprets the typehints in the namespaced class to be based on the current namespace when not explicity specified, but this unintentionally changes the signature of the methods from that of the abstract class. Test script: --------------- ========================base.php <?php class Payment {} abstract class CreditCardProcessor { abstract function AuthorizePayment(Payment $p); } ========================run.php <?php namespace processors\credit_card; require_once 'base.php'; class ipc extends \CreditCardProcessor { function AuthorizePayment(Payment $p) { } } $p = new \Payment; $ipc = new ipc; $ipc->AuthorizePayment($p); // note that if processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() is declared as (\Payment $p) instead of (Payment $p), everything behaves as expected since the base class is actually expecting a \Payment object Expected result: ---------------- PHP Fatal error: Declaration of processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() must be compatible with that of CreditCardProcessor::AuthorizePayment() in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 5 Actual result: -------------- PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() must be an instance of processors\credit_card\Payment_Model, instance of Payment_Model given, called in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 12 and defined in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62441&edit=1
