#27102 [NEW]: Reserve the promised keywords private, public and protected earlier for ...

From: tokie at hanmail dot net Operating system: All PHP version: 4.3.5RC1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Reserve the promised keywords private, public and protected earlier for ... Description: ------------ I've been waitning for the version 5 of PHP. and I've been actually preparing for the next major release of PHP like this: <?php class SiteBase { function __construct() { // do something } // for PHP 4.x function SiteBase() { $this->__construct(); } // public function Show() { ... } // private function IsRoot() { ... } } // end class ?> and because public, private or protected modifiers are not yet keywords in 4.x so I had to comment them every time. But I think it would be better if the PHP 4.x just can recognise them as keywords but do nothing for them. I mean they can be "reserved" for the next version of PHP. Expected result: ---------------- <?php class PHP5Class { // but it will work in PHP4 too. public $Var1; private $Var2; protected $var3; // works in PHP4 but the modifier 'protected' will be ignored and replaced with 'var' and so on. // 'static' or 'final' also ingored in PHP 4 static protected function F1() { ... } // but this should not be permitted because the name 'protected' is reserved function protected() { ... } } ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27102&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27102&r=float
