Immediately after that, a test script ("Example 2") is given with expected output. In php 7 the value of this is set to null when calling statically from a secondary object (see http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php, section "Calls from incompatible context removed"), this documentation is now outdated.In fact, if I run the script "Example 2" I do not get the results expected in the documentation. my php version: [cesco@localhost ~]$ php --version PHP 7.0.7 (cli) (built: May 28 2016 07:53:22) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2016, by Derick Rethans have a nice day Francesco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72462&edit=1
