Re: [PHP-DEV] [PHP-RFC] Property Accessors 1.2 : parent::$foo Issue

[Clint Priest]

Agreed.  Some people may actually be using $parent as a variable name, 
not difficult to imagine.

So far parent->foo seems to be the answer.

Hi!

One other possible alternative would be to treat parent "like a variable..."

$parent->foo
That would be a big BC problem and also require serious changes to
handle it (look how $this is implemented - it's not regular variable at
all). So $parent is probably a non-starter.
