Because PHP is not C.

It's language-design was chosen to not let you write complicated
expressions that only confuse beginners.

There was talk of letting this work on php-internals, but it was shot

Or perhaps not, but nobody actually submitted a patch to make it work,
so it's one of those "someday" features...
