Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.0.0RC2
New Comment:
Well you are right that this is wrong usage of isset(), but looking at
the behavour I would say that this is wrong, PHP 4 reports the correct
error like this:
PHP Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in
/home/siegel/php_tests.php on line 6
But with PHP 5.0.0 you will get now:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')', expecting
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /html/php_tests.php on line 6
which is in turn a complete wrong error message!
here's the code that produces this (I know that it is wrong to isset()
a constant, but PHP shouldn't answer with such a error message IMO).
Even when one makes errors the interpreter should give accurate
responses.
---[SNIP]---
define(SOME_VALUE ,2);
if(!isset(SOME_VALUE)) echo("Not found");
else echo("found");
---[SNAP]----
