#43332 [NEW]: self and parent as type hint

From: felipensp at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.3CVS-2007-11-19 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: self and parent as type hint Description: ------------ self and parent as type hint in namespace must be prefixed with '::', but not is possible to use them as class name. So, i'm guessing that shouldn't be necessary the prefix. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php namespace foobar; class foo { // no namespace //public function baz(self $a) { } // with namespace public function baz(::self $a) { } } $foo = new foo; $foo->baz($foo); // Ok! //$foo->baz(new stdclass); // Error, ok! Expected result: ---------------- Don't be necessary prefix in self/parent. Actual result: -------------- They must be prefixed. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43332&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43332&r=mysqlcfg
