Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69804&edit=1 ID: 69804 Comment by: grzegorz129 at gmail dot com Reported by: grzegorz129 at gmail dot com Summary: ReflectionClass::getStaticPropertyValue() throws exception on protected props Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Reflection related Operating System: OSX, Linux PHP Version: 7.0Git-2015-06-11 (snap) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @laruence: I saw your another comment about method behaving similar in PHP 5.6 - you're right, but I think implementation should be fixed instead of documentation, because that behaviour is little strange. It shouldn't break any code - who's calling setAccess(true) and expect it wouldn't change that? :D Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-12 01:33:48] laruence@php.net hmm, setAccess doesn't change the property_info... will think about a proper hack fix.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-11 22:19:25] grzegorz129 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Trying to use ReflectionClass::getStaticPropertyValue() on protected static properties of class results in exception with information about non existing property. However ReflectionClass::getStaticProperties() returns that property with correct value on all supported PHP versions. Adding ReflectionProperty::setAccessible(true) doesn't affect final effect. Of course I can use getStaticProperties() array, but maybe getStaticPropertyValue() should be fixed or at least some documentation note be added? After research I found it's related to #54620, but maybe setAccessible() should also affect getStaticPropertyValue() call? Test script: --------------- <?php class foo { protected static $test = 'bar'; } $classReflection = new ReflectionClass('foo'); $property = $classReflection->getProperty('test'); var_dump($property); $property->setAccessible(true); //Changes nothing in that case var_dump($classReflection->getStaticProperties()); var_dump($classReflection->getStaticPropertyValue('test')); Actual result: -------------- http://3v4l.org/om1lZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69804&edit=1
