Bug #63652 [Com]: Using twice the same trait causes fatal error.

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63652&edit=1 ID: 63652 Comment by: stealz at op dot pl Reported by: stealz at op dot pl Summary: Using twice the same trait causes fatal error. Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.4.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for your reply. PHP had warned me indeed, but it doesn't change the fact that, as I wrote, this is exactly the same method of exactly the same trait, so it shouldn't be colliding at all. Can you please prove me wrong?

It causes fatal error due to collisions which are obvious, because trait name is the same. What's interesting, collisions refer only to methods. PHP seems not to see the problem if double-used trait contains properties only. Test script: --------------- trait LifeOrganism { public $age; // it's fine #public function live() {} // uncomment to get Fatal error } trait Man { use LifeOrganism; } trait Elephant { use LifeOrganism; } class ElephantMan { use Man, Elephant; } Expected result: ---------------- Ignore trait which was already used. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63652&edit=1
