Hi All,
I have a class and a subclass, both with a static method:
<?php class Foo { static function Bar() { self::Baz(); } }
class Foo2 extends Foo { static function Baz() { echo 'Baz'; } }
Foo2::Bar(); ?>
In this case I expect to find 'Baz' on my screen, but I get the following: "Fatal error: Call to undefined method Foo::baz() in d:\htdocs_php5\ProBase2\TRUNK\probase\libsys\test5.php on line 7".
This is in PHP5 RC2.
Somehow this behaviour seems logical, on the other hand I don't think it's desired. I think that 'self' should point to the current class, even if the static method resides in a parent class.
Yeah, this probably should change to be consistent. I've been living fine with the current behavior, but considering self::*() will automatically invoke the parent class' method if none is defined in current class, then it should probably also work the other way around.
My .02,
