#39884 [NEW]: ReflectionParameter::getClass() throws exception for type hint self

From: bugs at php dot frankkleine dot de Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: ReflectionParameter::getClass() throws exception for type hint self Description: ------------ The ReflectionParameter::getClass() method does not work properly if the reflected parameter uses "self" as type hint. Instead, a ReflectionException is thrown saying that the class "self" does not exist. Tested with 5.2 and 6.0.0-dev from Nov 22. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class stubParamTest { function paramTest(self $param) { // nothing to do } } $test1 = new stubParamTest(); $test2 = new stubParamTest(); $test1->paramTest($test2); $refParam = new ReflectionParameter(array('stubParamTest', 'paramTest'), 'param'); var_dump($refParam->getClass()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- object(ReflectionClass)[4] public 'name' => 'stubParamTest' (length=13) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class self does not exist' in C:\apachefriends\xampp1.5.3a\xampp\htdocs\tests\type_hint_self.php:13 Stack trace: #0 C:\apachefriends\xampp1.5.3a\xampp\htdocs\tests\type_hint_self.php(13): ReflectionParameter->getClass() #1 {main} thrown in C:\apachefriends\xampp1.5.3a\xampp\htdocs\tests\type_hint_self.php on line 13 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39884&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39884&r=mysqlcfg
