Bug description:Different return value between within or without an object

Description:
------------
I would expect a getter to return the same value whether it's being called
within 
or without an object.

In my example, my __get function always returns null. If it's being called
from 
outside the object, it behaves properly and returns null. If it's being
called 
from inside, it returns the object itself.

Here I used the __get function to make it even clearer, but it does the
same 
regardless of the presence of that function.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class Toto{
    function __get($p){
        return null;
    }   

    function doit(){
        echo get_class($this->wololo); //this will print "TOTO", but why?
    }   
}

$t = new Toto();
$t->doit();
echo "\n";
echo get_class($t->wololo); //this will not work, which is what I expect
echo "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Warning:  get_class() called without object from outside a class in 
/home/fmlheureux/test.php on line 9
PHP Warning:  get_class() called without object from outside a class in 
/home/fmlheureux/test.php on line 16

Actual result:
--------------
Toto
PHP Warning:  get_class() called without object from outside a class in 
/home/fmlheureux/test.php on line 16
