Bug description:Reference class constant from object property
Description:
------------
When referencing a class constant, as of PHP 5.3.0, it's possible to
reference the
class using a variable, e.g. "$myObj::MY_CONST".
It's not possible however to use that syntax with object properties, e.g.
"$anotherObj->myObj::MY_CONST". I think that's inconsistent.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class MyClass {
const MY_CONST = 'foo';
}
$myObj = new MyClass();
// Works, prints "foo"
// echo $myObj::MY_CONST;
$anotherObj = new stdObject();
$anotherObj->myObj = $myObj;
// Raises a parse error
echo $anotherObj->myObj::MY_CONST;
Expected result:
----------------
Prints "foo"
Actual result:
--------------
Raises "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '::'
(T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM),
expecting ',' or ';'"
