Bug description:instanceof operator type variable from function
Description:
------------
This might be a 'feature request', a bug or just a documentation issue..
We can use the instanceof operator using variables:
i.e.
$objectType = 'StdClass'
$this instanceof $objectType
works flawlessly!
But in order to prevent introducing a variable needed just because of the
check
i would have guessed i could be able to do:
$this instanceof get_class($this)
(ofcourse the actual usage would be something else, this is just to
illustrate
the usage of a function to retrieve some type of class name)
Test script:
---------------
class Foo {
function getClass() {
return __CLASS__;
}
}
$bar = new Foo();
var_dump($bar instanceof $bar->getClass());
exit;
Expected result:
----------------
true
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '('
