#36687 [Opn]: ReflectionParameter::getDeclaringClass returns wrong result

ID: 36687 User updated by: elias at adaptiveinstance dot com Reported By: elias at adaptiveinstance dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2006-03-10 (snap) Assigned To: johannes New Comment: In that case i must understand anythink completely wrong or... ---code class Foo { function myMeth($param0){} } $class = new ReflectionClass('Foo'); $params = $class->getMethod('myMeth')->getParameters(); var_dump($params[0]->getDeclaringClass()); ---output NULL ---end ...NULL is the declaring class. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-11 18:34:09] helly@php.net It definitively returns which class declared the parameter. You are in RelfectionParameter here not in RelfectionTypeHint which doesn't exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-11 18:30:00] elias at adaptiveinstance dot com Alias or not, getDeclaringClass does not return the 'declaring' class and i don't think someone expects this. getTypeHintClass sounds good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-11 17:08:21] helly@php.net getClass() is an alias for getDeclaringClass() in 5.1 and will be dropped in later versions. What you want is a new method maybe named getParameterClass() or getTypeHintClass(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-10 22:19:12] elias at adaptiveinstance dot com Description: ------------ The method ReflectionParameter::getDeclaringClass() always return the wrong result. I should reaturn the reflection object of the declaring class and not that of the typehint class. Further this method has been introduced somewhere between php 5.0.5 and 5.1.3, but the documentation doesn't mention it. Reproduce code: --------------- class OtherClass {} class MyClass { function myMeth(OtherClass $param0, $param1){} } $class = new ReflectionClass('MyClass'); $params = $class->getMethod('myMeth')->getParameters(); var_dump($params[0]->getDeclaringClass()); var_dump($params[0]->getClass()); var_dump($params[1]->getDeclaringClass()); var_dump($params[1]->getClass()); Expected result: ---------------- object(ReflectionClass)#2 (1) { ["name"]=> string(10) "MyClass" } object(ReflectionClass)#2 (1) { ["name"]=> string(10) "OtherClass" } object(ReflectionClass)#2 (1) { ["name"]=> string(10) "MyClass" } NULL Actual result: -------------- object(ReflectionClass)#2 (1) { ["name"]=> string(10) "OtherClass" } object(ReflectionClass)#2 (1) { ["name"]=> string(10) "OtherClass" } NULL NULL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36687&edit=1
