#42681 [Asn->Bgs]: Static variables in sub/superclasses

ID: 42681 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: alex94040 at yahoo dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.4 Assigned To: helly New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is different from 28442. In fact the static variables are different here as 28442 proves. However you are only using one of them. You need to wait for LSB to make it into PHP and use the new syntax then. This will most likely be solved in 5.3.0.

We need to be able to redefine static members of classes (including constants), and set them independently. Reproduce code: --------------- class ClassA { private static $cn; public static function setName( $cn ) { self::$cn = $cn; } public static function getName( ) { return self::$cn; } } class ClassB extends ClassA { private static $cn; // with or without this, result is the same } ClassA::setName( 'AAA' ); ClassB::setName( 'BBB' ); print( ClassA::getName() . "\n" ); // prints 'BBB' print( ClassB::getName() . "\n" ); // prints 'BBB' Expected result: ---------------- Result should read "AAA BBB" Actual result: -------------- Result actually reads "BBB BBB" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42681&edit=1
