note 101526 added to function.property-exists

Note that before PHP 5.3.3, this function fails for private properties in base classes (which is fixed in 5.3.3) <?php class Base { private $var = 1; public function test() { var_dump( property_exists( $this, 'var' ) ); } } class Derived extends Base { } $b = new Base(); $b->test(); $d = new Derived(); $d->test(); ?> Executing this code with PHP 5.0 <= x < 5.3 this script echoes (incorrect result): bool(true) bool(false) Executing this code with PHP 5.3 this script echoes (correct result): bool(true) bool(true) ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 95.130.232.136 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.property-exists.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101526 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101526 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101526 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
