Req #50834 [Opn->Bgs]: complex string parsing does not parse static classes

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50834&edit=1 ID: 50834 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported by: kopelke at gmail dot com Summary: complex string parsing does not parse static classes -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: Ubuntu 9.10 PHP Version: 5.3.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Also from the same manual page: Note: Functions, method calls, static class variables, and class constants inside {$} work since PHP 5. However, the value accessed will be interpreted as the name of a variable in the scope in which the string is defined. Using single curly braces ({}) will not work for accessing the return values of functions or methods or the values of class constants or static class variables. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-25 15:34:32] kopelke at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The complex string syntax will not include static classes. I cannot use them as output. Quote from doc: In fact, any value in the namespace can be included in a string with this syntax. Simply write the expression the same way as it would appear outside the string, and then wrap it in { and }. I do expect this to be wrong. The documentation states "any value" and A::$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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50834&edit=1
