Req #63020 [NEW]: Dynamic functions & methods unification
From: p dot szymkowski at gmail dot com
Operating system: Any
PHP version: 5.4.6
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Dynamic functions & methods unification
Description:
------------
This is more than a feature than a bug.
Usage of '{}' is not unified at all.
Why this syntax:
$this->{'function'};
works, but:
{'function'}();
doesn't?
It's really confusing. In "test script" form i am giving you full example
of it.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
function myFunction(){};
// {'myFunction'}(); // doesn't work
$str = 'myFunction';
$str(); // works
class myClass {
public $bar = 'myClass';
public $test = 'myClass';
public function foo() {
}
}
// $class = new {'myClass'}(); // doesn't work
$str = "myClass";
$class = new $str(); // works
$class->{'foo'}(); // works
// $class2 = new {$class->test}; // doesn't work
$class2 = new $class->test(); // works
Expected result:
----------------
syntax {'myFunction'}(); should work
syntax $class = new {'myClass'}(); should work
syntax $class2 = new {$class->test}; should work
Actual result:
--------------
only calling methods and getting properties of class works in that way.
