#30355 [NEW]: Weird Behaviour calling non-static method statically

From: info at rhalff dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: Weird Behaviour calling non-static method statically Description: ------------ I think the behaviour below is allready known and it can be fixed declaring the method 'static', however I still think this is a bug. The script should fail instead of continuing incorrect behaviour. Related to Bug #9005, #12622, #20089, #25220, #29206 Because $this behaviour was allready there in 2001, I thought $this would be a good reminder $this feature is still present in 5.0.2 Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class A { public function test() { $this->setValue('huh?'); } public function test2() { $this->nonExistent(); } } class B { public function test() { A::test(); } public function setValue($v) { echo "$v"; } public function test2() { A::test2(); } } $B = new B; $B->test(); $B->test2(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- script should fail, cannot call a non-static method statically. Actual result: -------------- huh?
