(If the properties are not marked as static, I get the expected result) Test script: --------------- class A{ protected static $hi="Hello"; public function __construct(){ $class=get_class(); echo $class::$hi; } } class B extends A{ protected static $hi="What's up"; } $a=new A(); $b=new B(); Expected result: ---------------- HelloWhat's up Actual result: -------------- HelloHello ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61658&edit=1
