Bug #48286 ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass() does not work with redeclared properties
Submitted: 2009-05-14 20:29 UTC Modified: 2009-05-15 00:22 UTC
From: Markus dot Lidel at shadowconnect dot com Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: Reflection related
PHP Version: 5.*, 6CVS (2009-05-14) OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass() called on derived properties always return the class where the property was first defined, instead of the class where the property was redeclared. If $prop is private it works. (properly related to #39104)

Reproduce code:
---------------
class A
{
  protected $prop;
}

class B extends A
{
  protected $prop;
}

$rp = new ReflectionProperty('B', 'prop');
echo $rp->getDeclaringClass()->getName();


Expected result:
----------------
B

Actual result:
--------------
A

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

It is declared in A, the 2nd declaration has no actual effect when the class is being bound.

Thank you for you fast response.

But how do you find out, if the property is redeclard in a derived class?

Note: ReflectionProperty::getDeclaringClass() also displays A if property is static. Shouldn't getDeclaringClass() in this case display the class from which the value is retrieved?

BTW, ReflectionMethod::getDeclaringClass() works as expected (displays B). Although i don't know the internals, it is a bit confusing that two identically named functions behave differently.

This patch resolves the problem and display redeclared properties in the class where it is defined.

Description:
------------
Here is a little test case which demonstrates that the patch is working. Hope it helps.

testing code:
-------------
class A {
}

class B extends A {
  static protected $prop;
}

class C extends B {
  static protected $prop;
}

class D extends C {
}

class E extends D {
}

class F extends E {
  static protected $prop;
}

$class = 'A';
for($class = 'A'; $class <= 'F'; $class ++) {
  print($class.' => ');
  try {
    $rp = new ReflectionProperty($class, 'prop');
    print($rp->getDeclaringClass()->getName());
  } catch(Exception $e) {
    print('N/A');
  }
  print("\n");
}

result after patch:
-------------------
A => N/A
B => B
C => C
D => C
E => C
F => F

result before patch:
--------------------
A => N/A
B => B
C => B
D => B
E => B
F => B
