for the record:
I've tested this, and the last 5.2 version(5.2.17) behaves the same way:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOR, expecting T_STRING in

I notice that the other bug you've pointed me to, states that the problem
happens starting with version 5.3.2 also.

Strange, I've notice the bug after updating from Ubuntu karmic. Looking now at
the package.ubuntu.com I see that karmic came with php 5.2.10
I'm 100% sure that I didn't had this bug before the update

I don't know what your "previous" version was, but the same error occurs with
PHP
5.1.6 so this has been a language feature for a very long time.
Also see http://bugs.php.net/51782 about the introduction of new keywords in
recent versions.

Description:
------------
Is no longer possible to name a class methods using names that are reserved
keywords like : 'break', 'for', 'goto'. It used to work with previous php
versions.
If this is a 'feature', what's the point ?
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class foo {
static function for() {
echo "1";
}
static function goto() {
echo "2";
}
}
foo::for();
foo::goto();
Expected result:
----------------
Display: 12
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOR, expecting T_STRING in
/etc/asterisk/manager.d/test.php on line 4
