#30582 [NEW]: Accessing a static method from a static method in class doesn't work

From: jj at archit dot uni-karlsruhe dot de Operating system: Debian Woody R3 PHP version: 4.3.9 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Accessing a static method from a static method in class doesn't work Description: ------------ When trying to call a static method from within another static method in the same class, PHP fails and prints "Problem with method call - please report this bug". However, in a couple of other methods, this does work. I have no clue, why it doesn't work in this particular function, though. Reproduce code: --------------- function _getAuthType( ) { if ( strstr( $_POST["username"], "tmp_" ) || (isset( $_SESSION["wahl"] ) && strstr( $_SESSION["wahl"] -> username, "tmp_" ) ) ) { return "DB"; } else { return "LDAP"; } } /* end of getAuthType */ function getAuthOpts( ) { $this -> authOpts = array( "DB" => array("dsn" => DB_DRIVER."://".STUD_DB_USER.":".STUD_DB_PASS."@".STUD_DB_HOST."/".STUD_DB_NAME, "cryptType"=> "none", "table" => "studis", "usernamecol" => "login", "passwordcol" => "matrikelnr" ), "LDAP" => array( "host"=> "ldaps://<host>", "port"=> 636, "basedn"=> "<dn>", "userattr"=> "uid" ) ); $authType = WahlApplication::_getAuthType( ); return $this -> authOpts[ $authType ]; } Expected result: ---------------- $authType should contain a string - either "DB" or "LDAP" Actual result: -------------- Warning: Problem with method call - please report this bug in /home/www/arch/studwahl-test/inc/base_classes.php on line 76 Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/www/arch/studwahl-test/inc/base_classes.php on line 88 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30582&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30582&r=mysqlcfg
