Submitted: 2004-06-23 17:03 UTC Modified: 2004-07-20 20:32 UTC

Description:
------------
If you define an abstract class, ReflectionClass says it is not abstract and is instantiable.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php


abstract class X { private $y = 5; }
$class = new ReflectionClass("X");

print "Class X:<br>";
print "Abstract: ";
var_dump($class->isAbstract());
print "<br>Instantiable: ";
var_dump($class->isInstantiable());
print "<br><br>Reflection Export:<pre>";
Reflection::Export($class);
print "</pre><br>var_dump of X:<pre>";
var_dump(new X());
print "</pre><br>";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Class X:<br>Abstract: bool(true)
<br>Instantiable: bool(false)
<br><br>Reflection Export:<pre>Class [ <user> abstract class X ] {
  @@ c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php5lib2\test.php5 4-4

  - Constants [0] {
  }

  - Static properties [0] {
  }

  - Static methods [0] {
  }

  - Properties [1] {
    Property [ <default> private $y ]
  }

  - Methods [0] {
  }
}

</pre><br>var_dump of X:<pre><br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Cannot instantiate abstract class X in <b>c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php5lib2\test.php5</b> on line <b>15</b><br />

Actual result:
--------------
Class X:<br>Abstract: bool(false)
<br>Instantiable: bool(true)
<br><br>Reflection Export:<pre>Class [ <user> abstract class X ] {
  @@ c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php5lib2\test.php5 4-4

  - Constants [0] {
  }

  - Static properties [0] {
  }

  - Static methods [0] {
  }

  - Properties [1] {
    Property [ <default> private $y ]
  }

  - Methods [0] {
  }
}

</pre><br>var_dump of X:<pre><br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Cannot instantiate abstract class X in <b>c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php5lib2\test.php5</b> on line <b>15</b><br />

Note that the first two lines are the important ones in the expected and actual results.

Latest CVS (200407041430) has this bug listed as fixed.

Doesnt seem to be fixed.

Unfortunatley this wasn't fixed in 5 really.
 [2004-07-20 20:32 UTC] helly@php.net
Should be fixed now (obviously we need a testsuit for Reflection API any volunteers?)
