Bug #63602 [NEW]: __callStatic does not see $this

From: stealz at op dot pl Operating system: Windows 7 PHP version: 5.4.9 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:__callStatic does not see $this Description: ------------ When we call the method foo() of some class A in a static context inside the object B, the method can see $this as an object B. However, when method doesn't exist and __callStatic is triggered, $this is undefined. Why is that so? Test script: --------------- abstract class A { function foo() { # non-static on purpose var_dump($this); } static function __callStatic($method, $args) { var_dump($this); } } class B { function test() { A::foo(); A::someMethod(); } } $o = new B(); $o->test(); Expected result: ---------------- object(B)[4] object(B)[4] Actual result: -------------- object(B)[4] null -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63602&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63602&r=mysqlcfg
