#44782 [NEW]: Problem with namespace / late static binding

From: deleet at sapo dot pt Operating system: Fedora 6 PHP version: 5.3CVS-2008-04-19 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Problem with namespace / late static binding Description: ------------ Possible problem with the implementation of namespaces and late static binding. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php namespace Something; class Testing { function __construct() { } static function stuff() { echo 'I work!' . "<br />\n"; } } Testing::stuff(); $var = 'Testing'; $func = 'stuff'; // No effect: use Something; $var::$func(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Output: ------------------ I work! I work! Actual result: -------------- Output: ------------------ I work! Fatal error: Class 'Testing' not found in //file url// on line 20 ------------------ PHP is not looking for the class inside the defined namespace when using late static binding. It works if I use $var = 'Something::Testing'; but that's not indented behaviour. Also, using the namespace seems to have no effect. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44782&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44782&r=mysqlcfg
