#46700 [Bgs]: abstract class public static function isset(): syntax error

ID: 46700 User updated by: the_djmaze at hotmail dot com Reported By: the_djmaze at hotmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: GNU/Linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: Ehm, i posted in "Feature/Change Request". Marking as "bogus" and redirecting me to a manual i know from the inside out is not the answer i expected. I will contact a few PHP developers in any way i can to pinpoint why it's marked "bogus" and not something like "not possible" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-27 21:24:01] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php isset() is a keyword, and as such you can\'t use it as a function name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-27 20:52:13] the_djmaze at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ Trying to add a method named "isset" to a class. I know it's a language construct but shouldn't the parser check if isset() is called as a function? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php abstract class anObject { public static function isset($key) { return $key; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- It works Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ISSET, expecting T_STRING ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46700&edit=1
