Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77101&edit=1 ID: 77101 Comment by: php4fan at gmail dot com Reported by: teo8976 at gmail dot com Summary: Wrong error message on unexpected token Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: all PHP Version: 7.3.0RC4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Related: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80365 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-11-03 17:46:35] teo8976 at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77101&edit=1
