From: Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.3.4 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:local static variables in methods handled incorrectly
Description: ------------ The inital value of a static variable in a non-static method should take care about the current instance. The initialization should be done when a method of the instance is called, and not only when the method is first called in the script. The local static variable should be interpreted as an object variable that is visible only in the declaring method. Test script: --------------- <?php class StatTest { function statvartest() { static $var = 'initial'; echo $var."\n"; if ($var == 'initial') { $var = 'changed'; } } } $testA = new StatTest; $testA->statvartest(); $testA->statvartest(); $testB = new StatTest; $testB->statvartest(); $testB->statvartest(); Expected result: ---------------- initial changed initial changed Actual result: -------------- initial changed changed changed -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53666&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53666&r=mysqlcfg
