There is no information about such usage in documentation. (well, maybe that's 
why it does not work)

But if such usage is not documented why syntax:

static $age = 18;

is *valid* outside class?

I agree, this should have same consequences as in C lang.

This feature would also be useful for static (file scope) functions as well.

Description:

Global variables should be able to be declared 'static'.
Static globals, like in C, would only be accessible from the current file's 
scope. This would be a good way to protect internal variables used behind the 
scenes in a particular file. 

If there is any effective way to protect variables that I overlooked, outside 
of PHP classes, let me know. I understand that the possibility of this depends 
on how the include/file processing mechanism works.

Reproduce code:
---
myvar.inc: 


test.php: 
';
set_myvar(0);
$myvar = 1;
echo get_myvar();
?>

Expected result:

1
0

Actual result:
--
1
1

I've also found syntax error in php.ini in php 5.4b1:

In line 601 [both php.ini devel and production] is:
: paid for the registration of these arrays and because ENV is not as commonly

should be:
; paid for the registration of these arrays and because ENV is not as commonly


Note that there is colon as starting char.

Description:

I accidentally commented out a line in php.ini with a hash mark instead of a 
semi-colon.  It appears that the php.ini parser does not raise an all-important 
alarm on this kind of error.  

I spent hours trying to understand why my changes to php.ini were not reflected 
in ini_get_all().

It would be nice if the php.ini parser threw a message about syntax errors to 
stderr.  Pretty please!
