ID: 49719 Updated by: sjo...@php.net Reported By: atblock at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Verified Bug Type: Reflection related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-09-30 (snap) New Comment:
You are right. It can be expected that if hasProperty('a') returns true, getProperty('a') works. This works correctly when reflecting on A, but not when reflecting on B. Actual: Reflect on: A B hasProperty: y y getProperty: y n I am not sure what the expected behavior should be. I.e. whether hasProperty should return true or false on B.

Why do you think this is a bug? Because the property is not defined in class B but in class A? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-30 01:23:41] atblock at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I have a class which inherits from another class. The base class has a private property. When I check if that property exists on the inherited class, it returns true. Reproduce code: --------------- class A { private $a; } class B extends A { } $a = new B; $ref = new ReflectionClass($a); var_dump($ref->hasProperty('a')); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49719&edit=1
