Bug description:Parser problem with static calls using string method name
Description:
------------
PHP allows to call instance methods using the {} syntax together with a
string -
such as $obj->{'my-method'} for example. This allows developers to call
methods
whose names are not valid PHP method names.
The same does not work with static method calls.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Test{
public static function __callStatic($method, $arguments)
{
echo $method . PHP_EOL;
}
public function __call($method, $arguments)
{
echo $method . PHP_EOL;
}
}
$method = 'method';
$test = new Test();
$test->method();
$test->$method();
$test->{'method'}();
Test::method();
Test::$method();
Test::{'method'}();
Expected result:
----------------
method
method
method
method
method
method
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting T_STRING or
T_VARIABLE
or '$' in Untitled.php on line 21
