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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43332&edit=1
