Weird :: behaviour

Привет! <?php class a { function test() {

    return 1;

} } class b { function test() {

    return 2;

} } $myclass = 'a'; echo $myclass::test(); ?> This will not work. It will produce in instead a: parse error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting ',' or ';' Funnily enough, the NEKUDOTA part looks slavian (sort of "nowhereToGo", not russian, maybe it's polish), so I suspect it means it cannot resolve a parametrized call. It might be a coincidence. Everything else *does* support calling class methods by dynamically referencing a class name. For those working with plugins this a *serious* minus. Right now I found a way not to need the call, but please let me know if you ever met this thing. For those who aren't into OOPHP the :: operator is supposed to execute a function call on a class, instead of doing it on an instance. So you do not need to create an instance and can use a class as a normal library when you need to do so. But this way your plugin classes cannot be used as libraries. Static calls like a::test() or b::test() will work as expected. пока Альберто Киев @-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@ LoRd, CaN yOu HeAr Me, LiKe I'm HeArInG yOu? lOrD i'M sHiNiNg...
