PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: parent:: only works when both classes in the same file.
the parent:: operator will work if both the parent and sub class are in the same physical file, but
not if they are in a separate file.
This works:
<?php
class Base {
function doit() {
echo "Class Base->doit()\n";
}
}
class A extends Base {
function doit() {
parent::doit();
echo "Class A->doit()\n";
}
}
?>
but if the two classes are in separate files, the following error is reported:
Fatal error: No parent class available in this context in a.inc on line 6
Of course, this may be an undocumented feature, but I can see no reason for it.
