From: codextasy at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows, Linux PHP version: 5.2.10 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Cyclic inclusion of classes
Description: ------------ There is a bug with cyclic inclusion of files with class definition. There are three classes - A, B, C - each placed in a separate file - A.php, B.php, C.php - all in the same directory. B is a derived class of A, C is a derived of B. So, B.php includes A.php (using require_once), C.php includes B.php. A.php contains both class A and function f(), which is subsequently called. f() includes 'C.php'. When trying to request B.php (or include it from another file) I get Fatal error: Class 'B' not found C.php on line 4. Reproduce code: --------------- Three files here: --------[ A.php ]-------- <? class A {} function f() { include 'C.php'; } f(); ?> --------[ B.php ]-------- <? require_once 'A.php'; class B extends A {} ?> --------[ C.php ]-------- <? require_once 'B.php'; class C extends B {} ?> Expected result: ---------------- No error when requesting or including B.php. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class 'B' not found in /srv/www/test/C.php on line 4 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48686&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48686&r=mysqlcfg
