Bug #65911 scope resolution operator - strange behavior with $this
Submitted: 2013-10-16 09:23 UTC Modified: -
From: ori at uumpa dot com Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Class/Object related
PHP Version: 5.4.20 OS: ubuntu 13.04
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
When using the scope resolution operator with $this it ignores everything before the scope operator and just returns whatever is after the scope operator

for example, if we are inside an object with attribute foo:

STATIC_CLASS::$this->foo

the above script returns $this->foo

I assume it should raise an error (Access to undeclared static property)

Test script:
---------------
class A {}

class B
{
    public function go()
    {
	$this->foo = 'bar';
	echo A::$this->foo; // 'bar'
    }

}

$obj = new B();
$obj->go();


Expected result:
----------------
it should raise a fatal error - Access to undeclared property A::$this


Actual result:
--------------
It does not raise an error and just echoes 'bar'
