From: dutchprogrammer at gmail dot com Operating system: centos 7 (linux) PHP version: 7.0.6 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Backward variable handling ain't working accourding to doc Description: ------------ Accourding to the 'Changes to variable handling' (http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php#migration70.incompatible.variable-handling.indirect), arrays that i want to pass as function name i have to write as ($foo->$bar)['baz']() In my case i have an api that check the url wich class and function needed to be loaded for example (in short): url: users/getData i split the url with explode on '/' and then pass the second url key [1] as a function: $url = 'users/getData'; $urlSplit = explode('/', $url, 2); ($class->$urlSplit)[1]($param1, $params2); It's weird to write it like this but this ain’t working. I need to save the function to a new variable to fix it like this: $function = $urlSplit[1]; $class->$function($param1, $params2); Test script: --------------- Explained in the description above -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72137&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72137&r=mysqlcfg
