note 71143 added to language.oop5.basic

Note that you cannot nest classes (as of <5.1.2; higher versions are not available yet in my distribution). So, the following <?php error_reporting( E_ALL | E_STRICT ); class MyParent { public function parentFunction( ) { } class MyChild { public function childFunction( ) { } } } $x = new MyParent(); ?> Generates the error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_FUNCTION in [filename] on line 12". This is contrary to typical OO programming (specifically Java). Hopefully they'll change it sometime soon. I know in part this is a feature request, but I'm also putting it here in case anyone's looking for information about it: simply, you can't yet do it.
