Doc #62537 [NEW]: Composed class has fatal error with duplicate, equal array properties
From: jeremeamia at gmail dot com
Operating system: Ubuntu
PHP version: 5.4.4
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:Composed class has fatal error with duplicate, equal array properties
Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.oop5.traits
---
The manual says, "If a trait defines a property then a class can not define
a
property with the same name, otherwise an error is issued. It is an
E_STRICT if
the class definition is compatible (same visibility and initial value) or
fatal
error otherwise."
This does not appear to be true when the same-named properties have array
values.
See the test script for a quick example. It seems that it behaves as the
documentation describes only with scalar values.
This is either missing/erroneous documentation (i.e. the behavior is
intended), or
it is a bug (i.e. equal array values should not cause a fatal error).
Test script:
---------------
trait Foo {public $var = [];}
trait Bar {public $var = [];}
class Baz {use Foo, Bar;}
Expected result:
----------------
To behave as the documentation describes, i.e. no fatal errors occuring.
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error: Foo and Bar define the same property ($var) in the
composition
of Baz. However, the definition differs and is considered incompatible.
