#39294 [Opn->Bgs]: "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class" for classes that use extends

ID: 39294 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: a79315 at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: suse 10.1 PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: >if (defined("CTEST2")) return; >define("CTEST2", 1); Classes are declared at compile time, while 'if() return;' is executed at runtime, so this is 100% expected behaviour. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-28 23:46:01] a79315 at hotmail dot com Should read: If the "extends CTest3" is removed from file test2.inc there is no error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-28 23:39:01] a79315 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ This code works fine on PHP 4 but fails on PHP 5.1.2. I know that I need to try it on the 5.1.6 version but I can't get my suse server to upgrade to it. On PHP 5.1.2 it reports "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class". If the "extends CTest3" is removed from file test.inc there is no error. Reproduce code: --------------- File 1: test.php <? require "test2.inc"; require "test2.inc"; ?> File 2: test2.inc <? if (defined("CTEST2")) return; define("CTEST2", 1); require "test3.inc"; class CTest2 extends CTest3 { function CTest2() { print "Test2"; } } ?> File 3: “test3.inc” <? if (defined("CTEST3")) return; define("CTEST3", 1); class CTest3 { function CTest3() { print "Test3"; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- No error Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class ctest2 in test2.inc on line 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39294&edit=1
