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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53616&edit=1
