As you can never overwrite $this - even outside an object context it would make sense that the extract function always work as $this is defined and use the appropriate method (skip/prefix). Test script: --------------- <?php $arr = ['this' => 'hello world']; extract($arr, EXTR_SKIP); extract($arr, EXTR_PREFIX_INVALID, 'v_'); var_dump($v_hello === $arr['this']); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot re-assign $this in /tmp/test.php:4 Stack trace: #0 /tmp/test.php(4): extract(Array, 1) #1 {main} thrown in /tmp/test.php on line 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77135&edit=1
