https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70549 It seems this is better to be fixed in near future. Let "new" be associative? Currently, it's syntax error. Was there discussion for this with https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniform_variable_syntax ?
I think that we should keep `new` working the way it does. While some other languages do make `new Foo->bar` be `(new Foo)->bar`, I don't think that's very intuitive. The whitespace between `new` and the class name has made me always read it as `new (Foo->bar)` instead. Continuing to require brackets here will mean people don't misinterpret it.
Also, as Nikita noted, there might be compatibility issues. Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
