Hi! > Prohibiting `get_class(NULL)` is certainly a good idea, but I have some > concerns regarding BC. While `__CLASS__` has been introduced with PHP > 4.3.0, it had the glitch to return the lower-cased class name before PHP > 5.0.0. So there *might* still be PHP 5 code around using `get_class(NULL)`.
I note that this (i.e. behavior proposed in the RFC) was briefly the case for 5.3.0 and was changed to current behavior for 5.3.1. But pre-5.3 versions return false when NULL is passed to get_class, with no message. So, old PHP code doesn't seem to be a problem only one that was written after 5.3.1, because it doesn't look like get_class(NULL) worked before it: https://3v4l.org/4QvCs -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
