Description: ------------ If you declare a static data member (eg x), $this->x refers to a different variable without generating any warnings. Arguably, the proper behavior when setting a class variable through $this should first be to check if there are any static member variables of the same name and *then* check for instantiated member variables. Reproduce code: --------------- #!/usr/local/bin/php5 -q <? // error reporting is set to E_ALL in php.ini class Blah { public static $x; public function show() { Blah::$x = 1; $this->x = 5; // no warning, but refers to different variable echo ' Blah::$x = '. Blah::$x ."\n"; echo '$ this->x = '. $this->x ."\n"; } } $b = new Blah(); $b->show(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- either: (preferable) Blah::$x = 5 $this->x = 5 -or- at the minimum, display a warning Actual result: -------------- Blah::$x = 1 $this->x = 5
