ID: 14178 Updated by: derick Reported By: jmmolina@ifrance.com Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: print is a reserved word in PHP (not a real function), you can not use this as a function name. Not a bug -> bogus Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-22 10:36:19] jmmolina@ifrance.com It seems that class methods are not really part of the class. The scope of a method definition is global not local to the class. I have tried the following: class CMyClass { function Print () { } } It doesn't work because the PHP parser thinks that the "Print" method is the "print" PHP global function. I have tried to force scope: class CMyClass { function CMyClass::Print () { } } But it doesn't work. The only solution I found is to use an other name for my method, even if it really prints something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14178&edit=1
