From: fy dot kenny at gmail dot com Operating system: win10 PHP version: 7.4.8 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:I think the function call is not stronger than the static property operator Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/functions.variable-functions --- When calling static methods, the function call is stronger than the static property operator: Example #3 Variable method example with static properties <?php class Foo { static $variable = 'static property'; static function Variable() { echo 'Method Variable called'; } } echo Foo::$variable; // This prints 'static property'. It does need a $variable in this scope. $variable = "Variable"; Foo::$variable(); // This calls $foo->Variable() reading $variable in this scope. ?> Test script: --------------- <?php class Foo { static $variable = 'static property'; static function variable() { echo 'method variable called'; } } $variable = "variable"; echo "<br>" . Foo::$variable; // This prints 'static property'. It does need a $variable in this scope. // Foo::$variable; == Foo::$variable This is not appended dynamic static variable echo "<br>" . Foo::$$variable; // Foo::$$variable; == Foo::$variable This is appended dynamic static variable echo "<br>" . Foo::$variable(); // This calls $foo->Variable() reading $variable in this scope. // Foo::$variable(); == Foo::variable() ?> Expected result: ---------------- static property static property method variable called Actual result: -------------- static property static property method variable called -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79937&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79937&r=mysqlcfg
