#33980 [NEW]: $this refers to the caller in static calls

From: gerald at copix dot org Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: $this refers to the caller in static calls Description: ------------ $this refers to the caller in static calls of non-static methods. If the function is correctly set as static, then $this is ok. That may be a problem as I'm provinding a library that has to be PHP4/PHP5 compliant. (in PHP4, "$this" would have not been set) Reproduce code: --------------- $obj = new Caller (); $obj->showResult (); class Caller { function showResult (){ echo StaticClass::staticCallAsOfPHP4 (); } } class StaticClass { static function staticCallAsOfPHP4 (){ return (isset ($this)) ? get_class ($this) : 'none'; } } Expected result: ---------------- "none " (because of the static call, as of PHP4) Actual result: -------------- "Caller" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33980&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33980&r=mysqlcfg
