Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76246&edit=1 ID: 76246 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: miklcct at gmail dot com Summary: cannot access private variable in file included in method -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug -Package: PHP Language Specification +Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Debian PHP Version: 7.2.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 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. Works for me. Hacked out a single-file version too: https://3v4l.org/Qv730 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-04-21 03:50:48] miklcct at gmail dot com Description: ------------ An included file inside a class method cannot access class private member, but can access protected member Test script: --------------- // View.php class View { private $data = 'test'; public function render() { require 'view.phtml' } } (new View)->render(); // view.phtml <html><head><title>$this->data</title></head><body></body></html> Expected result: ---------------- An HTML with title test is returned Actual result: -------------- A fatal error saying cannot access private property ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76246&edit=1
