ID: 46700 Comment by: agideonse at scanyours dot com Reported by: the_djmaze at hotmail dot com Summary: abstract class public static function isset(): syntax error Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: GNU/Linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: There is no documentation on a method called isset() in objects afaik. The following code shows this: Reproduce code: --------------- class FooBar { } $t = new FooBar(); $t->isset(); Expected result --------------- Nothing Actual result ------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined method FooBar::isset() get_class_methods('FooBar') also shows the non-existence of these methods. In addition adding a method 'unset' to an object throws the same error.

Marking as "bogus" and redirecting me to a manual i know from the inside out is not the answer i expected. I will contact a few PHP developers in any way i can to pinpoint why it's marked "bogus" and not something like "not possible" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-27 21:24:01] der...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php isset() is a keyword, and as such you can\'t use it as a function name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-27 20:52:13] the_djmaze at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ Trying to add a method named "isset" to a class. I know it's a language construct but shouldn't the parser check if isset() is called as a function? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php abstract class anObject { public static function isset($key) { return $key; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- It works Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ISSET, expecting T_STRING ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46700&edit=1
