#26760 [Opn]: conditional class declartion causes syntax error

ID: 26760 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: eero at volotinen dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: linux 2.6 PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-01-01 (dev) New Comment: I don't think that anything is broken here. You just can't have a conditional class definition (just like you can't instantiate a class before it's declared anymore). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-02 05:26:04] alan_k@php.net Changing title. I suspect marcus's fix broke this. http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.zend-engine.cvs&article=2159 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-02 05:07:53] eero at volotinen dot com Used this test script: <?php if(!defined("SQL_LAYER")) { define("SQL_LAYER","mysql"); class sql_db { var $test; } } // end if.. ?> Php reports error at line 7 which starts : class sql_db .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-02 05:00:30] alan_k@php.net can you test the simple script below.. - line 27 appears to be the class definition line. test it with php -l test.php (eg. syntax test it.) .. if this works, go back to the mysql.php file, and remove chunks. (eg. methods) and syntax test it - narrowing down the problem. <?php if(!defined("SQL_LAYER")) { define("SQL_LAYER","mysql"); class sql_db { var $test; } } // end if.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-02 04:53:03] eero at volotinen dot com [02-Jan-2004 09:19:12] PHP Parse error: parse error in /home/apache/www/forum/phpBB2/db/mysql.php on line 27 [02-Jan-2004 09:19:12] PHP Fatal error: Class 'sql_db' not found in /home/apache/www/forum/phpBB2/includes/db.php on line 60 Both files can be found from : http://www.linux.ncp.fi/~eero/php_error/ I think problem was started on a few days builds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-02 02:28:57] alan_k@php.net Thank you for this bug report.
