It would be better if we can assign return value of function to property. If not at least we should generate a nice error message. Currently when we try to assign return value of function to property we get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in index.php on line 4 We should replace this error with the following error: Fatal error: You must assign a static value to property in index.php on line 4. OR Fatal error: Dynamic values cannot be assigned to property in index.php on line 4.
