Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-09-19 20:08:19] j dot tvr at centrum dot cz I spent some time playing with this bug and it turned out to be worse problem that it originally seemed. Changing value of static property with reflection **permanently breaks the inheritance chain**. https://3v4l.org/T43Sh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-08-23 15:42:30] j dot tvr at centrum dot cz https://3v4l.org/nvhZQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-26 18:47:38] maf dot michal at gmail dot com proof: https://travis-ci.org/majkel89/php7-bug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-26 18:41:56] maf dot michal at gmail dot com <?php class Base { protected static $prop = 'BASE'; public function getProp() { return static::$prop; } } class Mock extends Base { } $obj = new Mock; $excepted = 'REFLECTED'; $property = new ReflectionProperty('Base', 'prop'); $property->setAccessible(true); $property->setValue($excepted); $actual = $obj->getProp(); echo "Schould be {$excepted} and is {$actual}\n"; // exit($actual !== $excepted ? 1 : 0); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-25 22:08:46] requinix@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. How about a repro that doesn't rely on your test framework? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
