Test script: --------------- class T { public static $f; } T::$f = function() { echo "static member\n"; }; $f = function() { echo "local variable\n"; }; $f(); T::$f(); Expected result: ---------------- local variable static member Actual result: -------------- local variable Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Function name must be a string ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74726&edit=1
