ID: 52711 Comment by: rayro at gmx dot de Reported by: vik_ at hotmail dot com Summary: incorrect private property handling in extended class Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.3 Block user comment: N New Comment: addition to my previous post.. toggling the default value of $var in Foo to null and setting it in the constructor: <?php class Foo { #private $var = 'sheep'; private $var; function __construct() { $this->var = 'sheep'; } ... ?> will effect to the following result: ------------------------------------ called $Foo->var(): 0 called $Foo->var: sheep existing property: 1 called $Bar->var(): 0 called $Bar->var: sheep existing property: called $Baz->var(): 1 <----- called $Baz->var: <----- existing property: 1 called $Faz->var(): 0 called $Faz->var: cat existing property: 1 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-13 23:16:51] rayro at gmx dot de seems not to be really a bug, as the manual explains the following: http://de.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.visibility.php "Class members declared public can be accessed everywhere. Members declared protected can be accessed only within the class itself and by inherited and parent classes. Members declared as private may only be accessed by the class that defines the member." BUT there is something wrong.. It seems somehow __get will be invoked on the "parents scope" if not redefined... Test script: ------------ <?php class Foo { private $var = 'sheep'; function __construct() { } public function __call($f,$a) { return empty($this->{$f}); } public function __get($v) { return $this->{$v}; } } class Bar extends Foo { } class Baz extends Foo { private $var; function __construct() { $this->var = 'dog'; } } class Faz extends Foo { private $var; function __construct() { $this->var = 'cat'; } function __call($f,$a) { return empty($this->{$f}); } function __get($v) { return $this->{$v}; } } $test = new Foo(); echo('called $Foo->var(): '.(int)$test->var().PHP_EOL); echo('called $Foo->var: '.$test->var.PHP_EOL); echo('existing property: '.property_exists($test,'var').PHP_EOL); $test = new Bar(); echo('called $Bar->var(): '.(int)$test->var().PHP_EOL); echo('called $Bar->var: '.$test->var.PHP_EOL); echo('existing property: '.property_exists($test,'var').PHP_EOL); $test = new Baz(); echo('called $Baz->var(): '.(int)$test->var().PHP_EOL); echo('called $Baz->var: '.$test->var.PHP_EOL); echo('existing property: '.property_exists($test,'var').PHP_EOL); $test = new Faz(); echo('called $Faz->var(): '.(int)$test->var().PHP_EOL); echo('called $Faz->var: '.$test->var.PHP_EOL); echo('existing property: '.property_exists($test,'var').PHP_EOL); ?> Expected result: ---------------- called $Foo->var(): 0 called $Foo->var: sheep existing property: 1 called $Bar->var(): 1 <----- called $Bar->var: <----- existing property: called $Baz->var(): 0 called $Baz->var: dog <----- existing property: 1 called $Faz->var(): 0 called $Faz->var: cat existing property: 1 Actual result: -------------- called $Foo->var(): 1 called $Foo->var: sheep existing property: 1 called $Bar->var(): 0 called $Bar->var: sheep existing property: called $Baz->var(): 0 called $Baz->var: sheep existing property: 1 called $Faz->var(): 0 called $Faz->var: cat existing property: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-26 23:58:23] vik_ at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ test script $t->priv2 throws Notice: Undefined property: test::$priv2 error. Test script: --------------- class base { private $priv = "private"; protected $prot = "protected"; public $pub = "public"; final public function __get($prop){ $cv = get_class_vars(__CLASS__); $ccv = get_class_vars(get_called_class()); var_dump('GET--------------', $prop, get_called_class(), __CLASS__, $this, $cv, $ccv, isset($this->$prop), property_exists($this, $prop)); return $this->$prop; } final public function __set($prop, $value){ $cv = get_class_vars(__CLASS__); $ccv = get_class_vars(get_called_class()); var_dump('SET--------------', $prop, get_called_class(), __CLASS__, $this, $cv, $ccv, isset($this->$prop), property_exists($this, $prop)); $this->$prop = $value; } } class test extends base { private $priv2 = "private"; protected $prot2 = "protected"; public $pub2 = "public"; } // pub2 and prot2 works. $t = new test(); echo $t->pub2; echo $t->prot2; echo $t->priv2; Expected result: ---------------- like base class results: // it works. $b = new base(); echo $b->pub; echo $b->prot; echo $b->priv; Actual result: -------------- Inconsistent behaviour: 1) $this has 6 properties (pub, prot, priv, pub2, prot2, priv2): good 2) get_class_vars(get_called_class()) has 5, priv2 missing: wrong 3) isset($this->$prop) returns false in this case: wrong 4) property_exists($this, $prop)) returns true: good maybe similar bug: #47808 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52711&edit=1
