Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-16 11:49:21] dennis at born05 dot nl Description: ------------ When creating an instance of a class which tries to access a non- existent parent in the class definition it throws an error on the file/line where the class is instantiated while i would assume it should be thrown where the error occurs, ie where the class tries to access its non-existent parent. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class myclass { public $foo = parent::BAR; } new myclass(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Cannot access parent:: when current class scope has no parent in /my/file.php on line 4 (the line which refers to the non- existent parent) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Cannot access parent:: when current class scope has no parent in /var/www/html/swish/trunk/bug.php on line 6 (the line which creates the instance of myclass) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47405&edit=1
