Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68467&edit=1 ID: 68467 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: fredemmott@php.net Summary: T_DOUBLE_COLON and T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM used inconsistently -Status: Assigned +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: 5.6.3 Assigned To: nikic Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Past discussions on the topic have shown that the error message is unlikely to be changed. And there's no point changing the token_name() output to a BC-incompatible, less obvious name just for the sake of changing it.
