#36094 [NEW]: session_set_save_handler static methods fail if in object context

From: levi at alliancesoftware dot com dot au Operating system: PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: session_set_save_handler static methods fail if in object context Description: ------------ If you call session_set_save_handler from within a constructor, the engine thinks static callback methods are non-static and gives an E_STRICT error. In the code below, if session_set_save_handler() is called from within the constructor, it fails [because $this is still in the local variable table?] but if the constructor calls a static method that then calls session_set_save_handler it succeeds. Reproduce code: --------------- <? error_reporting(E_STRICT); class SessionHandler { public function __construct() { // This fails: session_set_save_handler( array('SessionHandler','open'), array('SessionHandler','close'), array('SessionHandler','read'), array('SessionHandler','write'), array('SessionHandler','destroy'), array('SessionHandler','gc') ); // This works: //SessionHandler::sethandler(); } public static function sethandler() { session_set_save_handler( array('SessionHandler','open'), array('SessionHandler','close'), array('SessionHandler','read'), array('SessionHandler','write'), array('SessionHandler','destroy'), array('SessionHandler','gc') ); } public static function open($path, $name) { return true; } public static function close() { return true; } public static function read($id) { return array(); } public static function write($id, $data) { return true; } public static function destroy($id) { return true; } public static function gc($life) { return true; } } $x = new SessionHandler(); session_start(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Nothing Actual result: -------------- Strict Standards: Non-static method SessionHandler::open() cannot be called statically, assuming $this from compatible context SessionHandler in /home/levi/public_html/tS.php5 on line 22 Strict Standards: Non-static method SessionHandler::close() cannot be called statically, assuming $this from compatible context SessionHandler in /home/levi/public_html/tS.php5 on line 22 ... etc ... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36094&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36094&r=mysqlcfg
