assert needs a parameter, which will be evaluated as PHP code, as described in the
manual:
"assert() will check the given assertion and take appropriate action if its result is
FALSE.
If the assertion is given as a string it will be evaluated as PHP code by assert(). "
I don't know what should be wrong in the documentation.

I've take a look at assert.c.
assert() expects string to eval. So I guess if it doesn't work with object property,
it would be okay.
Document does not explain string must be a valid PHP code, so I changed this report to
documentation problem.

According to the manual, assert() accepts string or boolean. However, it seems
assert() does handle string type well, especially if it's a class property. (Parse
error) Either PHP or the manual page is wrong.
Following code does not work well.
== code #1 ==
<?php
class A
{
var $name = 'class A';
function print_name()
{
assert($this->name);
print $this->name;
}
}
$obj1 = new A;
$obj1->print_name();
?>== result #1 ==
