Test script: --------------- <?php class One { public static $var = 'hi'; } class Two extends One { public static function set($var) { static::$var = $var; } } Two::set('bye'); var_dump(One::$var); Expected result: ---------------- "hi" Actual result: -------------- "bye" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64337&edit=1
