Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-07 06:40:52] denis at slik dot eu Is that a bug in the documentation, then? (The bit that you have quoted) In addition, is the difference of behavior between regular code and code in the same location in the closure intended? Finally, do you consider a backwards compatibility breakage? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-05 17:59:31] levim@php.net I have looked at this again and I believe that this is not a bug. Class Right has no permission to access anything that is protected or private in Left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-17 14:45:14] levim@php.net This behavior is documented on the visibility page: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.visibility.php > Members declared protected can be accessed only within the class itself and by inherited and > parent classes. With that being said, everyone I have talked to thus far believes it is a bug and should be considered for removal in the next major version of PHP. This needs to be discussed with more people. While that discussion is going on I'll dig into the technical details of why the closure doesn't work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-17 13:58:36] levim@php.net To be completely honest, I am not sure why Right and Base can access a protected property in Left. The behavior of the closure actually seems correct to me. I'll have to poke around in documentation and talk to more people. Thank you for this report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-17 13:18:43] tyrael@php.net Levi, could you look into this please? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
