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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44782&edit=1
