Bug 363605

Description Jos 2011-11-11 12:52:06 EST

Build Identifier: 20090920-1017

I was developing a function to execute static functions for any class and function that I give it; so I instantiate the parameters (obviously) in variables; I didn't like to use call_user_func, then I decided to try with:

/*
* As example
*/

class my_class{
      public static function my_function(){
         echo "Hello world!!!";
         return true;
      }
}
$class='my_class';
$function='my_function';

$result=$class::$function();

/*
 * Displays "Hello world!!!" and returns true.
 */
The PDT Editor marks it as syntax's error, but executing the code, the run was Ok. And for reasons of my workplace I can't to upload any code that the editor marks with any error. I expect you can give me a solution to include it to my local syntax checker, and at future to include it in the next versions.

Sincerly, Jos.
Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a class with a static function
2. Assign the classname and the static function name to variables 
3. Use the syntax $my_class::$my_function
