[PHP-BUG] Req #51391 [NEW]: Static methods called as self::fun() always resolve to class of its declaration

From:             
Operating system: Mac OS X
PHP version:      5.3.2
Package:          Class/Object related
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Static methods called as self::fun() always resolve to class of its declaration

Description:
------------
Static methods called using self::fun() resolve the parent class's method
even called from the child class. Sample code provided here (and below):
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php#49541

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class ExampleSuperclass
{
    static function classType()
    {
        return "superclass";
    }

    static function doSomething()
    {
        echo "doing something with " . self::classType();
    }
}

class ExampleClass extends ExampleSuperclass
{
    static function classType()
    {
        return "subclass";
    }
}

ExampleClass::doSomething();
// output is "doing something with superclass"!

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Expected behavior is to output "doing something with subclass."

Actual result:
--------------
Output is currently (in PHP 5.3.2) "doing something with superclass"!
