New Comment:
Strange, I've notice the bug after updating from Ubuntu karmic. Looking
now at
the package.ubuntu.com I see that karmic came with php 5.2.10
I'm 100% sure that I didn't had this bug before the update

I don't know what your "previous" version was, but the same error occurs
with PHP
5.1.6 so this has been a language feature for a very long time.
Also see http://bugs.php.net/51782 about the introduction of
new
keywords in
recent versions.

Description:
------------
Is no longer possible to name a class methods using names that are
reserved keywords like : 'break', 'for', 'goto'. It used to work with
previous php versions.
If this is a 'feature', what's the point ?
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class foo {
static function for() {
echo "1";
}
static function goto() {
echo "2";
}
}
foo::for();
foo::goto();
Expected result:
----------------
Display: 12
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOR, expecting T_STRING in
/etc/asterisk/manager.d/test.php on line 4
