Description:
------------
Not sure if this is a bug, but certainly strange behavior. When class properties are mentioned in a function they are created even if the function is not called

Reproduce code:
---------------
php5 -n -r 'class frog { function croak() { echo $this->ribbit; } } $f = new frog; print_r($f);'

Expected result:
----------------
frog Object
(
)

Actual result:
--------------
frog Object
(
    [ribbit] =>
)

This also causes some undesired behavior (aside from being strange):

kputnam@linus:~$ php5 -n -r '
> class thing
> {
>   protected $ribbit = 'ZOINKS';
> }
>
> class frog extends thing
> {
>   function croak()
>   {
>     echo $this->ribbit;
>   }
> }
>
> $f = new frog;
> print_r($f);'

frog Object
(
    [ribbit] =>
    [ribbit:protected] => ZOINKS
)

Also update your php source. The visibility problem you described in your second comment is fixed already.
