I don't argue that php is a loosely typed language but it does have rules and it should either adhere by them or change the rules. Currently the documentation says that static must come after visibility: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php "The static declaration must be after the visibility declaration." So either emit an E_STRICT warning or change the documentation to include this syntax as well.

Shouldn't this throw an E_STRICT warning? Reproduce code: --------------- <? class foo { static public function bar($foo){ echo $foo; } } foo::bar('test'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- E_STRICT: You cannot declare static before a visibility keyword. Actual result: -------------- Echoes "test" without warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42115&edit=1
