Bug #77101 [NEW]: Wrong error message on unexpected token

From: teo8976 at gmail dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 7.3.0RC4 Package: *Compile Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Wrong error message on unexpected token Description: ------------ When a syntax error occurred where an unexpected kind of token is found, if the error message says "Unexpected X, expecting Y", then Y **MUST** be a completely exhaustive list of valid expected kinds of tokens. If there are too many, then just say "Unexpected X", but do not tell me "expecting Y" if Y is not the only valid option. See example Test script: --------------- <?php $a = ['foo'=>'bar']; unset($a['foo']; Expected result: ---------------- Either this: > syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) or ')' or [... add any other valid options] or this: > syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) or possibly something else. Actual result: -------------- syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting :: (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77101&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77101&r=mysqlcfg
