#35525 [Bgs]: static + heredoc = parse error

ID: 35525 User updated by: snoyes at gmail dot com Reported By: snoyes at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.1.1 New Comment: Hmm, just noticed that there is an error in my reproduce code (missing the '='), but corrected, it still causes the indicated error. Code should be: static $x = <<<TEXT any text here TEXT; If we remove the "static" keyword, there is no error.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-02 18:50:25] snoyes at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Cannot assign static variables using heredoc. The manual indicates heredoc is a string delimiter, interchangable with double quotes. When assigning to static variables, it acts like an expression. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php static $x <<<TEXT any text here TEXT; echo $x; ?> Expected result: ---------------- any text here Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_START_HEREDOC, expecting ',' or ';' in [file] on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35525&edit=1
