#48286 [Bgs]: ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass() does not work with redeclared properties

ID: 48286 User updated by: Markus dot Lidel at shadowconnect dot com Reported By: Markus dot Lidel at shadowconnect dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Reflection related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.*, 6CVS (2009-05-14) New Comment: Thank you for you fast response. But how do you find out, if the property is redeclard in a derived class? Note: ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass() also displays A if property is static. Shouldn't getDeclaringClass() in this case display the class from which the value is retrieved? BTW, ReflectionMethod::getDeclaringClass() works as expected (displays B). Although i don't know the internals, it is a bit confusing that two identically named functions behave differently.

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 It is declared in A, the 2nd declaration has no actual effect when the class is being bound. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-14 20:29:15] Markus dot Lidel at shadowconnect dot com Description: ------------ ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass() called on derived properties always return the class where the property was first defined, instead of the class where the property was redeclared. If $prop is private it works. (properly related to #39104) Reproduce code: --------------- class A { protected $prop; } class B extends A { protected $prop; } $rp = new ReflectionProperty('B', 'prop'); echo $rp->getDeclaringClass()->getName(); Expected result: ---------------- B Actual result: -------------- A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48286&edit=1
