(it is fixed in PHP 5.3) BTW: is '->' called object separator, or what is the right name? Reproduce code: --------------- class Foo { } $foo = new Foo; $foo->class = 10; // OK $foo->class(10); // OK $foo-> class = 10; // Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE $foo-> class(10); // Parse error too ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46452&edit=1
