Bug #62156 [NEW]: Documentation incorrectly states that traits can't define static properties.

From: phplists at stanvassilev dot com Operating system: - PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Documentation incorrectly states that traits can't define static properties. Description: ------------ The Traits page at http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php states the following: "Static variables can be referred to in trait methods, but cannot be defined by the trait. Traits can, however, define static methods for the exhibiting class." This is followed by an example of emulating static properties with function-static vars. In testing PHP 5.4 this is wrong, traits support static properties, and they work as expected... Test script: --------------- <?php trait T { static public $foo = 123; } class C { use T; } echo C::$foo; // 123 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62156&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62156&r=mysqlcfg
