Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68055&edit=1 ID: 68055 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: m-a-x at kpitv dot net -Summary: 1 +Summary: Calls from incompatible contexts do weird things -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug -Package: *General Issues +Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.4.33 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is already being dealt with: in PHP 5.6, the following deprecation warning will be emitted: Deprecated: Non-static method A::test() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /private/tmp/test.php on line 20 The deprecation is documented at http://php.net/manual/en/migration56.deprecated.php#migration56.deprecated.incompatible-context — in the longer term, I expect this will be removed, probably in PHP 7.
