One project have Match as a class name. In PHP8 this is now a syntax error. See: https://3v4l.org/ZTsft It should be really dcoumented in https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.0.0beta1/UPGRADING -> 1. Backward Incompatible Changes instead of hidden in 2. New Features -> Added support for match expression. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/match_expression_v2 This could be a real frustrating one in some projects. As in my case, the class name is database related and i can't change it easily. Test script: --------------- class Match{ static function foo(){} } Match::foo(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79988&edit=1
