A quick close doesn't mean it wasn't a correct close. This is not a
bug, it's not meant to work. And don't lecture us about LALR parsers
when you have no idea how PHP works.

Thank you for your personalised answer and taking time to read and
understand my bug report.
There is nothing about this behaviour in:
-
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php#language.oop5.basic.new
- http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php
Moreover, the behaviour I describe is common to all programming
languages I know (I don't pretent to know all languages, I just tell
that PHP constants are not like other programming language constants).
According to me, it is just a LALR parser mistake.
Something like...
stuff: [...]
| TOK_NEW string '(' ')'
| TOK_NEW variable '(' ')'
... instead of ...
stuff: [...]
| TOK_NEW expression '(' ')'
Sorry for being rude, but your copy-paste-reply make me feel my problem
has been underestimated by an inexperienced person. But maybe I am
wrong, then just prove me that what I am talking about is nonsense...
According to me, if I can't do "new a" but can do "b = a; new b", there
is something wrong.

Description:
If you use define to set the name of a class to a constant, you can't
use it to instanciate the class.
Reproduce code:
---
Expected result:
These way of instanciating the foo class should all work.
Actual result:
--
The two first syntax produce the same result:
Fatal error: Class name must be a valid object or a string
