#35540 [NEW]: get_class() and get_class($this) inconsistent in inherited functions

From: sam at ombwa dot com Operating system: Win2K PHP version: 5CVS-2005-12-04 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: get_class() and get_class($this) inconsistent in inherited functions Description: ------------ In an inherited function, get_class() gives the name of the parent class get_class($this) gives the name of the child class. These should be consistent and return the name of the child class. Before you get deja vu and mark this bogus, I think that 31716 and 31616 were closed improperly as they deal with inheitance, NOT static isuses like 30964/30140. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Parentclass { function inherited_func() { echo "In inherited_func():\n__CLASS__ = " . __CLASS__ . "\nget_class() = " . get_class() . "\nget_class(\$this) = " . get_class($this) . "\n"; } } class Childclass extends Parentclass { function func() { echo "In func():\n__CLASS__ = " . __CLASS__ . "\nget_class() = " . get_class() . "\nget_class(\$this) = " . get_class($this) . "\n"; } } $c = new Childclass(); echo "<pre> phpversion()=" . phpversion() . "\n"; $c->func(); $c->inherited_func(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect get_class() and get_class($this) to return "Childclass". Actual result: -------------- phpversion()=5.1.2-dev In func(): __CLASS__ = Childclass get_class() = Childclass get_class($this) = Childclass In inherited_func(): __CLASS__ = Parentclass get_class() = Parentclass get_class($this) = Childclass -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35540&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35540&r=mysqlcfg
