#39678 [NEW]: __set and __get not called where a class attribute is called statically

From: denis at edistar dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: __set and __get not called where a class attribute is called statically Description: ------------ Static class attributes cannot be accessed using __get and __set methods. I think probably because they are resolved at compile time and not at runtime. If not, it is a bug. According to the documentation it should be possibile to access static class attributes using __get and __get. Reproduce code: --------------- class myClass { public function __set($name,$value) { echo "Setting: " . $name . " to " . $value."\n"; self::$$name = $value; } public function __get($name) { echo "Getting: " . $name . "\n"; } } myClass::$myStaticVar = "test"; echo myClass::$myStaticVar; Expected result: ---------------- Setting: myStaticVar to test Getting: myStaticVar test Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: myClass::$myStaticVar -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39678&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39678&r=mysqlcfg
