Bug #53616 [NEW]: T_LOGICAL_AND when declaring and() method in class

From: Operating system: Windows 7 x64 PHP version: 5.3.4 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:T_LOGICAL_AND when declaring and() method in class Description: ------------ When declaring a method named 'and' within a class, PHP throws a parse error because the function name is interpreted as a logical operator (T_LOGICAL_AND). This appears to be a bug, as it's clear in this context that the developer is not attempting to perform a comparison. Test script: --------------- <?php class LogicalOperatorTest { public function and() { echo "successful!"; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- The method LogicalOperatorTest->and() to be declared. Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_AND, expecting T_STRING in C:\pathto\lovely.php on line 5 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53616&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53616&r=mysqlcfg
