PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Static classes sometimes have a $this pointer
If you call a static method from within an object, the static method will inherit the
$this pointer of the calling object. This script demonstrates the problem:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
class StaticClass {
function doSomething() {
echo $this->data;
}
}
class Instantiated {
var $data;
function Instantiated($data) {
$this->data = $data;
StaticClass::doSomething();
}
}
$ob = new Instantiated('foo');
?>
This is rather confusing behavior - $this should be out of scope inside static methods
no matter what.
