Bug #54684 [NEW]: SoapServer->handle() breaks type hinting

From: Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6 PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: SOAP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:SoapServer->handle() breaks type hinting Description: ------------ SoapServer's handle() function breaks PHPs type-hinting for function parameters. Note that if you remove "$server->handle()" you get the expected result. If you leave it there you get the actual result. If this is intended it might have to do with SoapServer passing back stdClass as function arguments. But please note that this test code is not even used by SoapServer. I merely call the handle() function and every function call is effected, not just those invoked by SoapServer. Also for functions invoked by SoapServer, shouldn't a string fail because it's a non-object? If this isn't going to be fixed because it's a "feature" then we have a documentation problem. There needs to be a warning on the handle() documentation that states type-hinting is broken globally. If this was intended, I honestly don't think this should happen on a global scope. Only functions called by SoapServer should be effected, and even then the type should be at least restricted to an object. Test script: --------------- $server = new \SoapServer(NULL, array('uri' => 'http://localhost')); $server->handle(); class test { public function sayHello(Blah $one, $two) { return $one; } } $test = new test; var_dump($test->sayHello('one', 'two')); Expected result: ---------------- Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to test::sayHello() must be an instance of Blah, string given Actual result: -------------- string(3) "one" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54684&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54684&r=mysqlcfg
