ID: 30776 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: rob at alterlinks dot fr -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux 2.6.3-7 PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: It reports exactly what you have expected: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VAR, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in .." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-13 21:36:33] rob at alterlinks dot fr Thanks for your reply. However, can you explain why PHP4 reports a readable error, in relation to the misstake I'm maken, as where PHP5 reports me something in Hebrew while the error I'm making seems to have nothing to do with classes ?? What is the error it reports you for the code below ? <? unset (value); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-13 21:16:21] tony2001@php.net I can't reproduce it. But I'd advise you to read this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-13 20:53:32] rob at alterlinks dot fr Description: ------------ Please see bug #28243 I know, as reported, it is maybe *not* a bug, one has to use the correct syntax ! But, when using <? unset (variable) ?> the parser result : expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is not understandable, at least not to me. PHP4 returns an understandble code. Reproduce code: --------------- <? unset (variable); ?> (indeed, the above code is *incorrect*, it's only to provoque de parser's return code) Expected result: ---------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /var/www/sites/premiere/phpinfo.php on line 2 Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /var/www/sites/bios/phpinfo.php on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30776&edit=1
