#36094 [Bgs->Csd]: session_set_save_handler static methods fail if in object context

ID: 36094 User updated by: levi at alliancesoftware dot com dot au Reported By: levi at alliancesoftware dot com dot au -Status: Bogus +Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: I beg to differ, it **is** a bug, but is not to do with session_set_save_handler: it's triggered by every static member callback function from within a non-static context. Fixed in 5.1.3CVS: See bug #36011 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-20 00:21:52] sniper@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-20 00:03:35] levi at alliancesoftware dot com dot au 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36094&edit=1
