#50834 [NEW]: complex string parsing does not parse static classes

From: kopelke at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10 PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: complex string parsing does not parse static classes Description: ------------ The complex string syntax will not include static classes. I cannot use them as output. Quote from doc: In fact, any value in the namespace can be included in a string with this syntax. Simply write the expression the same way as it would appear outside the string, and then wrap it in { and }. I do expect this to be wrong. The documentation states "any value" and A::$a is a valid value for a string. Reproduce code: --------------- class A { static public $a = 'A'; } echo "{A::$a}"; Expected result: ---------------- A Actual result: -------------- {A::} -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50834&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50834&r=mysqlcfg
