Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63633&edit=1 ID: 63633 User updated by: mark-kreine at yandex dot ru Reported by: mark-kreine at yandex dot ru Summary: Static and non-static methods are equal -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Ubuntu 12.10 PHP Version: 5.4.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Problem solved Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-28 10:03:22] mark-kreine at yandex dot ru Description: ------------ Making method in class static or non-static makes absolutely no sense. For example, let's have a class: class Test { const t = 't'; public function testmethod() { echo self::t; } } Then we do: Test::testmethod() Expecting to see some kind of error, instead I can see normal method execution, finally printing 't'. Adding keyword 'static' to the method declaration makes absolutely no sense. Test script: --------------- class Test { const t = 't'; public static function testmethod() { echo self::t; } } Expected result: ---------------- Some kind of error Actual result: -------------- This script prints "t", that is the contents of the class costant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63633&edit=1
