Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52741&edit=1 ID: 52741 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: flyguy dot by at gmail dot com Summary: OOP late static bindings bug -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem -Operating System: Windows Vista +Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: colder Block user comment: N New Comment: Etienne, you are the LSB expert - what's your take on this? - In the given example I can see the reporter's point. (While there is a "extends test1" missing) I wonder about this: class test1 { public static function testing_method() { var_dump(get_called_class()); } } class test2 extends test1 { } class test3 extends test2 { public static function testing_method() { parent::testing_method(); } } Here parent might refer to test2, test2 inherits testing_method() from test1 so the called class might be test2 ... some might argue that test1 is correct. I think the most simple thing is to keep the current behavior and define parent not to change the lsb scope.

Why ? Test script: --------------- class test1 { public static function testing_method() { var_dump(get_called_class()); } } class test2 { public static function testing_method() { parent::testing_method(); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52741&edit=1
