Bug->Doc #63370 [Opn]: ReflectionCLass::getDefaultProperties() return is incorrect for static properti

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63370&edit=1 ID: 63370 Updated by: cataphract@php.net Reported by: dimzav at gmail dot com Summary: ReflectionCLass::getDefaultProperties() return is incorrect for static properti Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Documentation Problem Package: Reflection related Operating System: Win 7 x64 PHP Version: 5.3.18 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Should be documented only to work with internal classes. Otherwise, Won't Fix (see the justification in bug #51581). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-26 17:49:38] dimzav at gmail dot com Reasons given are: Of course it might be used in ext/Reflection but it would require less-efficient and more-memory-consumption implementation which would affect any php script which use classes with static properties. I don't understand why performance issue should be excuse for bug. And I can't add comments to that bug, so what else can I do? Only create new ticket for bug which is evident and can't be excused by any performance reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-26 17:32:49] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de Please do not create a duplicate of the existing issue #51581. There was a decision to not fix it for some reasons. Also IMHO default values for global static class variables are as useful as getting default values for other global variables. You might have more luck in requesting a general reflection features for variables - global ones, local ones, static ones and class static ones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-26 14:01:45] dimzav at gmail dot com Description: ------------ ReflectionCLass::getDefaultProperties() returns current value of static property, not the default one. I can't add comment to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51581 but it is evidently a bug and must be fixed. Test script: --------------- class A { public static $a = 1; } A::$a = 2; $reflectionCLass = new ReflectionClass('A'); $defaultProperties = $reflectionCLass->getDefaultProperties(); var_dump($defaultProperties); Expected result: ---------------- Default value of $a static property is 1, it should be returned by ReflectionCLass::getDefaultProperties() instead of current value. Actual result: -------------- C:\OpenServer\modules\php\PHP-5.3.18\php.exe temp.php array(1) { ["a"]=> int(2) } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63370&edit=1
