Bug description:referencing class during static access using variable doesn't
work properly
Description:
------------
Documentation says: "As of PHP 5.3.0, it's possible to reference the class
using a variable. The variable's value can not be a keyword (e.g. self,
parent and static)."
It does not say that class variables cannot be used, but trying to do so
will result in the completely nonsensical error for non-hebrew speakers.
referencing the variable that references the class name does work, but it
is a useless line in my code, i don't like it.
public function foo() {
$tmp =& $this->bar;
echo $tmp::$my_static;
}
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Foo {
public static $my_static = 'foo';
}
class Bar {
protected $bar;
public function __construct() {
$this->bar = 'Foo';
}
public function foo() {
echo $this->bar::$my_static;
}
}
$bar = new Bar();
$bar->foo();
Expected result:
----------------
foo
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting ','
or ';' in C:\ ... \test.php on line 12
