But, for my surprise, I saw that static properties cannot be overwrite. Why? This make not sense! Reproduce code: --------------- class a { protected static $v = "aa"; public static function foo(){ echo self::$v; } } class b extends a{ protected static $v = "bb"; public static function foo(){ echo self::$v; } } Expected result: ---------------- No runtime error Actual result: -------------- Cannot redeclare property static protected a::$v in class b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32331&edit=1
