However, there is no way to reference a method or function in similar fashion, so in reality most of unit tests still need to rely on magic strings. Having such feature would prevent issues like https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit-mock-objects/issues/12 from appearing, and could tell me if I'm doing something wrong the second PHP finishes parsing my script's syntax. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67975&edit=1
