#18610 [NEW]: Name Space Issues / Reserved Words
From: ralph@_snarff.net
Operating system: Linux 2.4.18
PHP version: 4.2.2
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Name Space Issues / Reserved Words
When using a class (more spifically) something like Date/Calc.php supplied
with PEAR: When I set a variable named "$this" before calling any class
functions, it produces a warning.
example:
<?
include("Date/Calc.php");
$this = "some text";
echo Date_Calc::dateNow("%Y%m%d");
?>
Output:
--------
Warning: Problem with method call - please report this bug in <<FILENAME>>
on line <<LINENUMBER>>
20020727
--------
As I am not familar with the Zend scripting engine, so this may be a bug
in the rendering since it does produce only a warning, yet still operates.
But if it is not, then documentation on the word "this" should be located
in the documentation in the following places:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.php#reserved.keywords
and again under:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php
(where $this is actually used)
Thanks,
Ralph Schindler
