#49719 [Fbk->Opn]: ReflectionClass::hasProperty returns true for a private property in base class

ID: 49719 User updated by: atblock at gmail dot com Reported By: atblock at gmail dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-09-30 (snap) New Comment: 1) Because it's a member of the base class and it's private. 2) Because the equivalent $ref->getProperty('a') throws an error, of unknown property Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-01 11:20:59] sjoerd@php.net From the documentation of hasMethod(), it seems that private properties also count as properties. Why do you think this is a bug? Because the property is not defined in class B but in class A? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-30 01:23:41] atblock at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I have a class which inherits from another class. The base class has a private property. When I check if that property exists on the inherited class, it returns true. Reproduce code: --------------- class A { private $a; } class B extends A { } $a = new B; $ref = new ReflectionClass($a); var_dump($ref->hasProperty('a')); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49719&edit=1
