Bug description:Non-breaking spaces are considered as a valid identifier
character
Description:
------------
Hey :-),
Just a noticeable think that PHP allows is the use of non-breaking space
(0x00A0) as a valid identifier character. Thus, we can have very strange
code (but I love it)! See bellow.
It is not a bug, just a fact that makes PHP awesome.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Just for fun.
class Aa Bb Cc {
public function f g h ( ) {
var_dump('succeed (1)');
}
}
$c l a s s = new Aa Bb Cc();
$c l a s s->f g h();
// Go deeper.
function  ( ) {
var_dump('succeed (2)');
}
 ();
// Go crazy!
class  {
public function   ( ) {
var_dump('succeed (3)');
}
}
$ = new  ();
$Â ->Â Â ();
echo 'PHP is awesome :-).' . "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
string(11) "succeed (1)"
string(11) "succeed (2)"
string(11) "succeed (3)"
PHP is awesome :-).
Actual result:
--------------
string(11) "succeed (1)"
string(11) "succeed (2)"
string(11) "succeed (3)"
PHP is awesome :-).
