Bug description:Calling the result of a function call as a function causes a
parse error
Description:
------------
Calling the return value from a function as a function directly (without
storing the return value in an intermediate variable) results in a parse
error. Apparently, the PHP parser does not understand `foo()()` or
`(foo())()`.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
function foo($a) {
return function ($b) use ($a) {
print "$a, $b!\n";
};
}
foo("Hello")("world");
Expected result:
----------------
Program prints "Hello, world!"
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(' in
/home/tobias/test/test.php on line 9
