#29596 [NEW]: Setting or getting declared members won't work when extending mysqli

From: kinder at wxs dot nl Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.0.0 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Setting or getting declared members won't work when extending mysqli Description: ------------ I've posted this problem to the php.db mailinglist, as well as asked in three different php-related irc-channels, in which no-one could explain this behaviour. Although I haven't been able to reproduce this problem on another machine (none available), I suspect it to be a bug. ----- I'm running php5.0.0 with mysqli extention as a Apache2 module on a Windows XP box. I've tested the database by querying it with mysqli (procedural) and results are coming back just fine. This makes me believe that the mysqli-extention is working properly. Running this code (see 'reproduce code'), you would expect an output like "xconstructorytest" however, I'm getting "xy" (the private member $somevar isn't set and/or read). No reported errors or warnings. Changing the line that says class database_foobar extends mysqli to class database_foobar gets me the expected result of "xconstructorytest". Somehow, making the class an extention of mysqli, seems to interfere with calling the $somevar member. Reproduce code: --------------- error_reporting(E_ALL); class database_foobar extends mysqli { private $somevar; function database_foobar() { $this->somevar = "constructor"; echo "x"; echo $this->somevar; } function test() { $this->somevar = "test"; echo "y"; echo $this->somevar; } } $foo = new database_foobar(); $foo->test(); Expected result: ---------------- xconstructorytest Actual result: -------------- xy -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29596&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29596&r=float
