From: RQuadling at GMail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.3SVN-2009-08-17 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Using . operator whilst assigning to a property gives misleading error.
Description: ------------ Changeset http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=286600. The Config.php class is using . to create a property. The error that is generated is appropriate, but I feel it is misleading. The error is different under slightly different circumstances. The 2 scripts below show what I mean. Having said that, the elements being concatenated are constant, so I believe there is some argument that these are NOT dynamic as say a function call would be. Reproduce code: --------------- ===== Test1.php ===== <?php class Config { public $string = __DIR__ . 'something'; } ?> ===== Test2.php ===== <?php class Config { public $array = array(__DIR__ . 'something'); } Expected result: ---------------- An error along the lines that you cannot assign dynamic values to properties during class creation. Actual result: -------------- ===== Test1.php ===== Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in Z:\Test1.php on line 3 ===== Test2.php ===== Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in Z:\Test2.php on line 3 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49281&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49281&r=mysqlcfg
