The syntax that would start it (@@) is not the same, or related to the parenthesis that follow the attribut name ( () ). They are not linked, as the ( in () is opening a 'context' and the ) in )) is closing it again. This is not the ending syntax of '@@'. cheers, Derick -- PHP 7.4 Release Manager Host of PHP Internals News: https://phpinternals.news Like Xdebug?
