From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:remove or change the 'function' in classes
Description: ------------ The function keyword is pretty deprecated in php atm. If you got a function inside a class people always refer to it as a 'method' and not a function. Besides that, there is actually no need for that keyword... class foo { public function foobar() {} } Is actually the same as: class foo { public foobar() {} } Should not be hard to understand that it's a function or method... I propose to either change the keyword to method or remove it completely Test script: --------------- <?php class foo { // old public function foobar() {} // suggestion 0 public method foobar() {} // suggestion 1 public foobar() {} } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51373&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51373&r=mysqlcfg
