From: Operating system: Any PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:__get() and __set() for static classes
Description: ------------ Would it be possible to have magic setter/getter functions available on static context ? The documentation says "Property overloading only works in object context. These magic methods will not be triggered in static context." I would find it useful on a static context where I have a class A extending another class B, to access Test script: --------------- Example: Class A { static $data = array('bar' => 99, 'foo' => 101); function __get($name) { if (isset(self::$data[$name])) return self::$data[$name]; return null; } } Class B extends A { } echo B::$foo; Expected result: ---------------- echo B::$foo; In the example should return 101. Actual result: -------------- In the example it triggers a fatal error. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52225&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52225&r=mysqlcfg
