 New Comment:

I don't know what your "previous" version was, but the same error occurs
with PHP 

5.1.6 so this has been a language feature for a very long time.



Also see http://bugs.php.net/51782 about the introduction of new
keywords in 

recent versions.

Description:
------------
Is no longer possible to name a class methods using names that are
reserved keywords like : 'break', 'for', 'goto'.  It used to work with
previous php versions.



If this is a 'feature', what's the point ?







Test script:
---------------
<?php



class foo {

        static function for() {

                echo "1";

        }



        static function goto() {

                echo "2";

        }



}



foo::for();

foo::goto();

Expected result:
----------------
Display: 12



Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_FOR, expecting T_STRING in
/etc/asterisk/manager.d/test.php on line 4
