Re: strange error code

I have seen this before. I think "paamayim nekudotayim" translates to double colon in english, from hebrew. The constant T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAIM represents the token "::" in the parser. The compiler is expecting a double colon operator on line 17 of your program. I would look at the global_fun(4); line. Right now you have global_fun set to be a pointer/reference to a instance of MyClass, but you are trying to call it as a function. This is probably where your problem is. Thanks.
