Bug description: $foo[x] = y; syntax doesn't work inside a class
Description:
------------
If you try to use this syntax in a class to declare a class member:
$foo[1] = 1;
You get a parse error. Prepending a visibility keyword doesn't change
anything, nor does using a string key instead of a numeric key.
Note: this was seen in v5.2.4. I don't have 5.2.5 to test against. I
did, however, test it against a couple of 5.0.x versions, where I also
saw a parse error, so this is definitely a multi-version issue.
Reproduce code:
---------------
File test.php
<?php
class foo {
$bar[1] = 1;
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I'd expect $bar[1] to be created as member of class foo and assigned the
value of 1. This syntax isn't explicitly covered in the classes section
of the docs as far as I can see; the only restriction that's given is
this:
"The default value must be a constant expression, not (for example) a
variable, a class member or a function call."
Since I'm assigning a constant value, since this array assignment syntax
is otherwise valid, and since the array() syntax works, I'd expect this
syntax to work, as well.
Actual result:
--------------
% php -l test.php
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION
in test.php on line 4
Errors parsing test.php
