PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description: can't call constructor in class definition
Description:
------------
In most (all?) other OOP-oriented languages, it's a common paradigm to
define a class and provide a static member of the class in the definition
and initialize it with a new object of the class. This is commonly used to
implement singletons which are a must for many projects. This doesn't seem
to work with PHP5.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Foo {
static $me = new Foo();
public function __construct() {
}
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in /u1/home/vlad/php/test/3.php
on line 3
Actual result:
--------------
created static member of the class with the initialized object
