From: fm dot lheureux at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 13.04x64 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug 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 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64886&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64886&r=mysqlcfg
