This is confusing and causes a lot of time wasting for those who are new to this error. It would be more consistent to use an english descriptor such as "Unexpected T_SCOPE_OPERATOR" or something similiar that instantly lets you to exactly know where the problem is without having to google it. Test script: --------------- <?php ::testCase(); Expected result: ---------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '::' (T_SCOPE_OPERATOR), expecting end of file in [...][...] on line 3 Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM), expecting end of file in [...][...] on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76721&edit=1
