#31701 [NEW]: (mis-) use of undeclared attributes

From: attibln at gmx dot net Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: (mis-) use of undeclared attributes Description: ------------ Defining an attribute within a method is possible even if it was not declared in the class. This is some kind of hidden/ghost attributes ... if they have not been declared - e.g. public name etc. - it will be quite hard to understand a class using those "ghost attribute". Especially when the are defined in method bar() and later on used in method foo().
