Bug description: less important: global and static in global scope
Description:
------------
Hi!
Either its some documentation problem or a error reporting problem, but
"static" and "global" can be used in the global scope, and this makes no
sense?
Or is it some kind of: make statics or globalize variables in a file
included in a function in another file? if so, close this bugreport and
eventually make some documentation for that... :)
thx and greets
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
# The php doc says "A static variable exists only in a local function
scope"
# but this does not fail in any way:
static $test = 1;
echo("test for static successfull\n");
# As global does only makes sense within the function, this should fail
# also with some error or something:
global $test2;
echo("test2 for global successfull\n");
Expected result:
----------------
Any error message like "The keyword static|global is not allowed in global
scope"
Actual result:
--------------
test for static successfull
test2 for global successfull
