From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: RH8 PHP version: 5CVS-2004-02-18 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: ZE2 Static functions don't function properly
Description: ------------ Static functions don't behave properly at all. They can be called from an object-context and provide no means to even confirm from within the function if it has been called from a static context or not. I understand that static methods should never have access to $this regardless of context, but unless the engine enforces a restriction on calling static functions from an object context this behavior is completely counter-intuitive and inconsistent. Not only does the engine not catch this, but the developer cannot either. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); class Staticexample { const a = 10; static function test() { var_dump(isset($this)); } } $b = new Staticexample(); Staticexample::test(); $b->test(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) bool(false) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27304&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27304&r=float
