Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-09 13:01:41] info at developiu dot it Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.oop5.basic --- in this page it is said "The class name can be any valid label, provided it is not a PHP reserved word. A valid class name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be expressed thus: ^[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*$." from the regular expression class names with unicode charaters shbould not be accepted, but this is not true. Test script: --------------- <?php class Հ {} var_dump(new Հ); Expected result: ---------------- a parse error Actual result: -------------- class Հ#1 (0) { } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76984&edit=1
