Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76072&edit=1 ID: 76072 Comment by: daverandom@php.net Reported by: mepehok at mailtrix dot net Summary: support __getStatic, __setStatic, and all Status: Duplicate Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: 7.2.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Duplicate of bug 45002 and bug 62860 (comment formatted properly for linking) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-03-09 10:38:08] daverandom@php.net I am closing this as it is a duplicate of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45002 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62860 (and possibly others). Please note that this is *not* a comment on the validity of the request, simply an attempt to keep the bug database tidy. Since the other two issue are old and appear not to be moving anywhere, the best thing to do in order to get something done would likely be to raise it on internals. In fact, if you can, the best thing to do would be to create an implementation and write an RFC, if you do that then you will probably find that everyone suddenly has an opinion. Personally, I think this would have a pretty reasonable chance of passing if someone implemented it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-03-09 09:25:27] mepehok at mailtrix dot net Description: ------------ I know I "shouldn't be using magic methods", there's no need to repeat it every time this feature is requested, but the reality is that they are useful in certain circumstances, like testing. No one is asking to allow static class properties to be dynamically defined. From my understanding of php source code, this is already possible, but it is not enabled in user code. Can we please have this implemented without making it a big deal about code cleanness and kinda arguments that are not really helpful? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76072&edit=1
