|
============================= |
|
1. Changes to INI directives |
|
============================= |
|
|
|
- PHP 5.4 now checks at compile time if /dev/urandom or /dev/arandom |
|
are present. If either is available, session.entropy_file now |
|
defaults to that file and session.entropy_length defaults to 32. |
|
This provides non-blocking entropy to session id generation. If you |
|
do not want extra entropy for your session ids, add: |
|
|
|
session.entropy_file= |
|
session.entropy_length=0 |
|
|
|
to your php.ini to preserve pre-PHP 5.4 behavior. |
|
|
|
- Deprecated php.ini directives will now throw an E_CORE_WARNING's |
|
instead of the previous E_WARNING's. |
|
|
|
- The following php.ini directives are no longer available in PHP 5.4 |
|
and will now throw an E_CORE_ERROR upon startup: |
|
- allow_call_time_pass_reference |
|
- define_syslog_variables |
|
- highlight.bg |
|
- magic_quotes_gpc |
|
- magic_quotes_runtime |
|
- magic_quotes_sybase |
|
- register_globals |
|
- register_long_arrays |
|
- safe_mode |
|
- safe_mode_gid |
|
- safe_mode_include_dir |
|
- safe_mode_exec_dir |
|
- safe_mode_allowed_env_vars |
|
- safe_mode_protected_env_vars |
|
- session.bug_compat_42 |
|
- session.bug_compat_warn |
|
- y2k_compliance |
|
- zend.ze1_compatibility_mode |
|
|
|
- the following new php.ini directives were added: |
|
- max_input_vars - specifies how many GET/POST/COOKIE input |
|
variables may be accepted. The default value is 1000. |
|
|
|
- E_ALL now includes E_STRICT. |
|
|
|
- The recommended production value for error_reporting changed to E_ALL & |
|
~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT. |
|
|
|
- Added new session support directives: |
|
session.upload_progress.enabled |
|
session.upload_progress.cleanup |
|
session.upload_progress.prefix |
|
session.upload_progress.name |
|
session.upload_progress.freq |
|
session.upload_progress.min_freq |
|
|
|
- Added a zend.multibyte directive as a replacement of the PHP compile time |
|
configuration option --enable-zend-multibyte. Now the Zend Engine always |
|
contains code for multibyte support, which can be enabled or disabled at |
|
runtime. Note: It doesn't make a lot of sense to enable this option if |
|
ext/mbstring is not enabled, because most functionality is implemented by |
|
mbstrings callbacks. |
|
|
|
- Added zend.script_encoding. This value will be used unless a |
|
"declare(encoding=...)" directive appears at the top of the script. |
|
|
|
- Added zend.signal_check to check for replaced signal handlers on shutdown |
|
|
|
- Added enable_post_data_reading, which is enabled by default. When it's |
|
disabled, the POST data is not read (or processed); the behavior is similar |
|
to that of other request methods with body, like PUT. This allows reading |
|
the raw POST data in multipart requests and reading/processing the POST data |
|
in a stream fashion (through php://input) without having it copied in memory |
|
multiple times. |
|
|
|
- Added windows_show_crt_warning. This directive shows the CRT warnings when |
|
enabled. These warnings were displayed by default until now. It is disabled |
|
by default. |
|
|
|
- Added cli.pager to set a pager for CLI interactive shell output. |
|
|
|
- Added cli.prompt to configure the CLI interactive shell prompt. |
|
|
|
- Added cli_server.color to enable the CLI web server to use ANSI color coding |
|
in terminal output. |
|
|
|
======================================== |
|
2. Changes to reserved words and classes |
|
======================================== |
|
|
|
- "callable", "insteadof" and "trait" are now reserved words. |
|
|
|
============================= |
|
3. Changes to engine behavior |
|
============================= |
|
|
|
- The __construct arguments of an extended abstract constructor must |
|
now match: |
|
|
|
abstract class Base |
|
{ |
|
abstract public function __construct(); |
|
} |
|
class Foo extends Base |
|
{ |
|
public function __construct($bar) {} |
|
} |
|
|
|
This now emits a Fatal error due the incompatible declaration. |
|
|
|
- In previous versions, superglobal names could be used for parameter |
|
names, thereby shadowing the corresponding superglobal. In PHP 5.4 |
|
this now causes a fatal error such as "Cannot re-assign auto-global |
|
variable GLOBALS". |
|
|
|
- Turning null, false or an empty string into an object by adding a |
|
property will now emit a warning instead of an E_STRICT error. |
|
|
|
$test = null; |
|
$test->baz = 1; |
|
|
|
To create a generic object you can use StdClass: |
|
|
|
$test = new StdClass; |
|
$test->baz = 1; |
|
|
|
- Converting an array to a string now will cause an E_NOTICE warning. |
|
|
|
- Non-numeric string offsets, e.g. $a['foo'] where $a is a string, now |
|
return false on isset() and true on empty(), and produce warning if |
|
trying to use them. Offsets of types double, bool and null produce |
|
notice. Numeric strings ($a['2']) still work as before. |
|
|
|
Note that offsets like '12.3' and '5 and a half' are considered |
|
non-numeric and produce warning, but are converted to 12 and 5 |
|
respectively for backwards compatibility reasons. |
|
|
|
- Long numeric strings that do not fit in integer or double (such as |
|
"92233720368547758070") are compared using string comparison if |
|
they could otherwise result in precision loss - since 5.4.4. |
|
|
|
- Closures now support scopes and $this and can be rebound to |
|
objects using Closure::bind() and Closure::bindTo(). |
|
|
|
- <?= is now always available regardless of the short_open_tag |
|
setting. |
|
|
|
- Parse error messages are changed to contain more information about |
|
the error. |
|
|
|
- __clone and __destruct since 5.4.4 follow the same scoping rules as |
|
the rest of the methods (see bug #61782 for details). |
|
|
|
================================ |
|
4. Changes to existing functions |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
- array_combine now returns array() instead of FALSE when two empty arrays are |
|
provided as parameters. |
|
|
|
- dns_get_record() has an extra parameter which allows requesting DNS records |
|
by numeric type and makes the result include only the raw data of the |
|
response. |
|
|
|
- call_user_func_array() no longer allows call-time pass by reference. |
|
|
|
- the default character set for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() is |
|
now UTF-8. In previous versions it was ISO-8859-1. Note that changing |
|
your output charset via the php.ini default_charset directive does not |
|
affect htmlspecialchars/htmlentities unless you are passing "" (an |
|
empty string) as the encoding parameter to your htmlspecialchars/htmlentities |
|
calls. |
|
|
|
- htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() are stricter in the code units they |
|
accept for the asian encodings. For Big5-HKSCS, the octets 0x80 and 0xFF are |
|
rejected. For GB2312/EUC-CN, the octets 0x8E, 0x8F, 0xA0 and 0xFF are |
|
rejected. For SJIS, the octets 0x80, 0xA0, 0xFD, 0xFE and 0xFF are rejected, |
|
except maybe after a valid starting byte. For EUC-JP, the octets 0xA0 and |
|
0xFF are rejected. |
|
|
|
- htmlentities() now emits an E_STRICT warning when used with asian characters, |
|
as in that case htmlentities has (and already had before this version) the |
|
same functionality as htmlspecialchars. |
|
|
|
- htmlentities() no longer numerically encodes high characters for single-byte |
|
encodings (except when there's actually a corresponding named entity). This |
|
behavior was not documented and was inconsistent with that for "UTF-8". |
|
|
|
- html_entity_decode() and htmlspecialchars_decode() behave more consistently, |
|
now decoding entities in malformed strings such as "&&" or "&#&". |
|
|
|
- htmlentities(), htmlspecialchars(), html_entity_decode(), and |
|
htmlspecialchars_decode: Added the flags ENT_HTML401, ENT_XML1, ENT_XHTML, |
|
and ENT_HTML5. The behavior of these functions including, but not limited to, |
|
the characters that are encoded and the entities that are decoded depend on |
|
the document type that is specified by those flags. |
|
|
|
- htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() with !$double_encode do more strict |
|
checks on the validity of the entities. Numerical entities are checked for a |
|
valid range (0 to 0x10FFFF); if the flag ENT_DISALLOWED is given, the |
|
validity of such numerical entity in the target document type is also |
|
checked. Named entities are checked for necessary existence in the target |
|
document type instead of only checking whether they were constituted by |
|
alphanumeric characters. |
|
|
|
- The flag ENT_DISALLOWED was added. In addition to the behavior described in |
|
the item before, it also makes htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() |
|
substitute characters that appear literally in the argument string and which |
|
are not allowed in the target document type with U+FFFD (UTF-8) or �. |
|
|
|
- The flag ENT_SUBSTITUTE was added. This flag makes invalid multibyte |
|
sequences be replaced by U+FFFD (UTF-8) or &#FFFD; by htmlspecialchars() and |
|
htmlentities(). It is an alternative to the default behavior, which just |
|
returns an empty string and to ENT_IGNORE, which is a security risk. The |
|
behavior follows the recommendations of Unicode Technical Report #36. |
|
|
|
- htmlspecialchars_decode() and html_entity_decode() now decode ' if the |
|
document type is ENT_XML1, ENT_XHTML, or ENT_HTML5. |
|
|
|
- Charset detection with $charset == '' no longer turns to mbstring's |
|
internal encoding defined through mb_internal_encoding(). Only the encoding |
|
defined through the php.ini setting mbstring.internal_encoding is considered. |
|
|
|
- number_format() no longer truncates multibyte decimal points and thousand |
|
separators to the first byte. |
|
|
|
- The third parameter ($matches) to preg_match_all() is now optional. If |
|
omitted, the function will simply return the number of times the pattern was |
|
matched in the subject and will have no other side effects. |
|
|
|
- The second argument of scandir() now accepts SCANDIR_SORT_NONE (2) as a |
|
possible value. This value results in scandir() performing no sorting: on |
|
local filesystems, this allows files to be returned in native filesystem |
|
order. |
|
|
|
- stream_select() now preserves the keys of the passed array, be they numeric or |
|
strings. This breaks code that iterated the resulting stream array using a |
|
numeric index, but makes easier to identify which of the passed streams are |
|
present in the result. |
|
|
|
- stream_set_write_buffer() no longer disables the read buffer of a plain |
|
stream when 0 is given as the second argument. |
|
|
|
- stream_set_write_buffer() no longer changes the chunk size in socket streams. |
|
|
|
- fclose() closes streams with resource refcount > 1; it doesn't merely |
|
decrement the resource refcount. |
|
|
|
- socket_set_options() and socket_get_options() now support multicast options. |
|
|
|
- The raw data parameter in openssl_encrypt() and openssl_decrypt() is now an |
|
options integer rather than a boolean. A value of true produces the same |
|
behavior. |
|
|
|
- Write operations within XSLT (for example with the extension sax:output) are |
|
disabled by default. You can define what is forbidden with the method |
|
XsltProcess::setSecurityPrefs($options). |
|
|
|
- Added AES support to OpenSSL. |
|
|
|
- openssl_csr_new() expects the textual data to be in UTF-8. |
|
|
|
- Added no-padding option to openssl_encrypt() and openssl_decrypt(). |
|
|
|
- Added a "no_ticket" SSL context option to disable the SessionTicket TLS |
|
extension. |
|
|
|
- Added new json_encode() options: JSON_PRETTY_PRINT, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES, |
|
JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK, JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE. |
|
|
|
- Added Tokyo Cabinet and Berkley DB 5 support to DBA extension. |
|
|
|
- Added support for CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE |
|
to cURL. |
|
|
|
- Added optional argument to debug_backtrace() and debug_print_backtrace() |
|
to limit the amount of stack frames returned. |
|
|
|
- Fixed crypt_blowfish handling of 8-bit characters. crypt() in Blowfish mode |
|
now supports hashes marked $2a$, $2x$ and $2y$. |
|
|
|
- mbstring now supports following encodings: Shift_JIS/UTF-8 Emoji, |
|
JIS X0213:2004 (Shift_JIS-2004, EUC-JP-2004, ISO-2022-JP-2004), |
|
MacJapanese (Shift_JIS), gb18030. |
|
|
|
- Added encode and decode in hex format to mb_encode_numericentity() and |
|
mb_decode_numericentity(). |
|
|
|
- Added support for SORT_NATURAL and SORT_FLAG_CASE in array sort functions: |
|
sort(), rsort(), ksort(), krsort(), asort(), arsort() and array_multisort(). |
|
|
|
- is_a() and is_subclass_of() now have third boolean parameter, which specifies |
|
if the first argument can be a string class name. Default if false for is_a |
|
and true for is_subclass_of() for BC reasons. |
|
|
|
- ob_start() will now treat a chunk size of 1 as meaning 1 byte, rather than |
|
the previous special case behavior of treating it as 4096 bytes. |
|
|
|
- idn_to_ascii() and idn_to_utf8() now take two extra parameters, one indicating |
|
the variant (IDNA 2003 or UTS #46) and another, passed by reference, to return |
|
details about the operation in case UTS #46 is chosen. |
|
|
|
- gzencode() used with FORCE_DEFLATE now generates RFC1950 compliant data. |
|
|
|
- ob_start() no longer starts multiple output buffers when passed |
|
array("callback1", "callback2", "callback3", ...). |
|
|
|
- Since 5.4.4, "php://fd" stream syntax is available only in CLI build. |
|
|
|
- Since 5.4.5, resourcebundle_create() accepts null for the first two arguments. |
|
|
|
- Since 5.4.6, SimpleXMLElement::getDocNamespaces() has and extra parameter which |
|
allows for toggling if the list of namespaces starts from the document root |
|
or from the node you call the method on |
|
|
|
- Since 5.4.7, ctor is always called when new user stream wrapper object is created. |
|
Before, it was called only when stream_open was called. |
|
|
|
4a. unserialize() change |
|
------------------------ |
|
|
|
- Starting PHP 5.4.29, the bug fix for bug #67072 introduces a change to |
|
unserialize() function, detailed below: |
|
|
|
If the string looking like 'O:..:"ClassName":...' is unserialized, and |
|
the class named is an internal class that declares custom unserializer |
|
function, or extends such class, unserialize would fail. |
|
|
|
Using O: for user classes not extending internal classes (including |
|
those implementing Serializable) is still supported in 5.4, though |
|
it is deprecated and may not be supported in 5.6 for classes that do not |
|
originally serialize to O:. Same for using O: for internal classes |
|
implementing Serializable (like ArrayObject) and classes that extend |
|
them. |
|
|
|
The reason for that is that O: format is meant to be used with classes |
|
that do not define custom handlers, and was never intended for the use |
|
with classes that do. When used with the class that relies on custom |
|
unserializer, it can leave the object of such internal class in an |
|
inconsistent state which has been observed to result in crashes and may |
|
also lead to memory corruption and ultimately even arbitrary code |
|
execution. This was never the intended use of unserializer, and mere |
|
possibility of doing this constitutes a bug, since the data passed to |
|
unserialize() is not a valid serialization of any object. Since there |
|
are many applications applying unserialize() to untrusted data, this |
|
presents a potential security vulnerability. Thus, keeping such bug in |
|
the code base was considered too dangerous. |
|
|
|
We are aware that some applications use O: format as a way to |
|
instantiate classes. This was never the intended usage of serializer, |
|
and ReflectionClass methods such as newInstance or |
|
newInstanceWithoutConstructor can be used for that. We're working on |
|
providing more comprehensive solution for such use cases in PHP 5.6 and |
|
welcome the ideas in this area. |
|
|
|
We note also that using unserialize() on any data that is not the result |
|
of serialize() call continues to be an unsupported scenario and should |
|
not be relied on to produce any specific result. |
|
|
|
============================== |
|
5. Changes to existing classes |
|
============================== |
|
|
|
- Classes that implement stream wrappers can define a method called |
|
stream_truncate that will respond to truncation, e.g. through ftruncate. |
|
Strictly speaking, this is an addition to the user-space stream wrapper |
|
template, not a change to an actual class. |
|
|
|
- Classes that implement stream wrappers can define a method called |
|
stream_metadata that will be called on touch(), chmod(), chgrp(), chown(). |
|
|
|
- Arrays cast from SimpleXMLElement now always contain all nodes instead of |
|
just the first matching node. |
|
|
|
- All SimpleXMLElement children are now always printed when using var_dump(), |
|
var_export(), and print_r(). |
|
|
|
- Added iterator support in MySQLi. mysqli_result implements Traversable. |
|
|
|
- Since 5.4.30, SOAPClient has __getCookies() method. |
|
|
|
============================== |
|
6. Changes to existing methods |
|
============================== |
|
|
|
- DateTime::parseFromFormat() now has a "+" modifier to allow trailing text in |
|
the string to parse without throwing an error. |
|
|
|
- Added the ability to pass options to DOMDocument::loadHTML(). |
|
|
|
- FilesystemIterator, GlobIterator and (Recursive)DirectoryIterator now use |
|
the default stream context. |
|
|
|
- Since 5.4.5, the constructor of ResourceBundle accepts NULL for the first two |
|
arguments. |
|
|
|
=========================== |
|
7. Deprecated Functionality |
|
=========================== |
|
|
|
- The following functions are deprecated in PHP 5.4: |
|
- mcrypt_generic_end(): use mcrypt_generic_deinit() instead |
|
- mysql_list_dbs() |
|
|
|
======================== |
|
8. Removed Functionality |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
a. Removed features |
|
|

The following features have been removed from PHP 5.4: |
|
|
|
- Magic quotes |
|
- Register globals |
|
- Safe mode |
|
- Session extension bug compatibility mode |
|
- Y2K compliance mode |
|
|
|
b. Removed functions |
|
|
|
The following functions are no longer available in PHP 5.4: |
|
|
|
- define_syslog_variables() |
|
- import_request_variables() |
|
- session_is_registered() |
|
- session_register() |
|
- session_unregister() |
|
- set_magic_quotes_runtime() |
|
- mysqli_bind_param() (alias of mysqli_stmt_bind_param()) |
|
- mysqli_bind_result() (alias of mysqli_stmt_bind_result()) |
|
- mysqli_client_encoding() (alias of mysqli_character_set_name()) |
|
- mysqli_fetch() (alias of mysqli_stmt_fetch()) |
|
- mysqli_param_count() (alias of mysqli_stmt_param_count()) |
|
- mysqli_get_metadata() (alias of mysqli_stmt_result_metadata()) |
|
- mysqli_send_long_data() (alias of mysqli_stmt_send_long_data()) |
|
- mysqli::client_encoding() (alias of mysqli::character_set_name) |
|
- mysqli_stmt::stmt() (never worked/always throws, undocumented) |
|
|
|
c. Removed syntax |
|
|
|
- break $var; |
|
- continue $var; |
|
|
|
d. Removed hash algorithms |
|
|
|
- Salsa10 and Salsa20, which are actually stream ciphers |
|
|
|
==================== |
|
9. Extension Changes |
|
==================== |
|
|
|
a. Extensions no longer maintained |
|
|
|
- ext/sqlite is no longer part of the base distribution and has been moved |
|
to PECL. Use sqlite3 or PDO_SQLITE instead. |
|
|
|
b. Extensions with changed behavior |
|
|
|
- The MySQL extensions (ext/mysql, mysqli and PDO_MYSQL) use mysqlnd |
|
as the default library now. It is still possible to use libmysql by |
|
specifying a path to the configure options. |
|
|
|
- PDO_MYSQL: Support for linking with MySQL client libraries older |
|
than 4.1 is removed. |
|
|
|
- The session extension now can hook into the file upload feature |
|
in order to provide upload progress information through session |
|
variables. |
|
|
|
- SNMP extension |
|
- Functions in SNMP extension now returns FALSE on every error |
|
condition including SNMP-related (no such instance, end of MIB, |
|
etc). Thus, in patricular, breaks previous behavior of get/walk |
|
functions returning an empty string on SNMP-related errors. |
|
- Multi OID get/getnext/set queries are now supported. |
|
- New constants added for use in snmp_set_oid_output_format() |
|
function. |
|
- Function snmp_set_valueretrieval() changed it's behavior: |
|
SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT can be combined with one of |
|
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY resulting OID value |
|
changes. When no SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY |
|
is supplied with SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT, SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY is used. |
|
Prior to 5.4.0 when no SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY |
|
was supplied with SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT, SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN was used. |
|
- Added feature-rich OO API (SNMP class) |
|
- Dropped UCD-SNMP compatibility code. Consider upgrading to |
|
net-snmp v5.3+. Net-SNMP v5.4+ is required for Windows version. |
|
- In sake of adding support for IPv6 DNS name resolution of |
|
remote SNMP agent (peer) is done by extension now, not by Net-SNMP |
|
library anymore. |
|
|
|
- Date extension |
|
- Setting the timezone with the TZ environment variable is no longer |
|
supported, instead date.timezone and/or date_default_timezone_set() |
|
have to be used. |
|
- The extension will no longer guess the default timezone if none |
|
is set with date.timezone and/or date_default_timezone_set(). |
|
Instead it will always fall back to "UTC". |
|
|
|
- Hash extension |
|
- the output of the tiger hash family has been corrected, see |
|
https://bugs.php.net/61307 |
|
|
|
=========================== |
|
10. Changes in SAPI support |
|
=========================== |
|
|
|
- A REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT value returns a floating point number indicating the |
|
time with microsecond precision. All SAPIs providing this value should be |
|
returning float and not time_t. |
|
|
|
- apache_child_terminate(), getallheaders(), apache_request_headers() |
|
and apache_response_headers() are now supported on FastCGI. |
|
|
|
- The interactive shell allows a shortcut #inisetting=value to change php.ini |
|
settings at run-time. |
|
|
|
- The interactive shell now works with the shared readline extension. |
|
|
|
- The interactive shell no longer terminates on fatal errors. |
|
|
|
- A new PHP CLI command line option --rz <name> shows information about the |

|
|
=================== |
|
11. Windows support |
|
=================== |
|
|
|
- is_link now works properly for symbolic links on Windows Vista |
|
or later. Earlier systems do not support symbolic links. |
|
|
|
- As of PHP 5.4.5 and above the COM extension isn't compiled statically in PHP |
|
anymore but shared. It'll still be delivered with the standard PHP release but |
|
must be activated manually with the "extension = php_com_dotnet.dll" directive |
|
in php.ini. |
|
|
|
- Apache 2.4 handler is supported as of PHP 5.4.9 |
|
|
|
================== |
|
12. New in PHP 5.4 |
|
================== |
|
|
|
a. New Features |
|
|
|
- A built-in CLI web server for testing purposes is now available: |
|
$ php -S 127.0.0.1:8888 |
|
|
|
- File Upload Progress support is implemented in the Session extension. |
|
|
|
b. Syntax additions |
|
|
|
- Traits: |
|
trait HelloWorld { |
|
public function sayHello() { |
|
echo 'Hello World!'; |
|
} |
|
} |
|
|
|
class CanIGetHello { |
|
use HelloWorld; |
|
} |
|
|
|
$hello = new CanIGetHello(); |
|
$hello->sayHello(); |
|
|
|
- Function call result array access, e.g.: |
|
foo()[0] |
|
$foo->bar()[0] |
|
|
|
- Callable typehint indicating argument must be callable: |
|
function foo(callable $do) { |
|
} |
|
foo("strcmp"); |
|
foo(function() {}); |
|
$o = new ArrayObject(); |
|
foo(array($o, "count")); |
|
|
|
- Short array syntax: |
|
$a = [1, 2, 3, 4]; |
|
$a = ['one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3, 'four' => 4]; |
|
$a = ['one' => 1, 2, 'three' => 3, 4]; |
|
|
|
- Binary number format: |
|
0b00100 0b010101 |
|
|
|
- Chained string array offsets now work. |
|
$a = "abc"; |
|
echo $a[0][0]; |
|
|
|
- Anonymous functions now support using $this and class scope. |
|
Anonymous function can be declared as "static" to ignore the scope. |
|
|
|
- Class::{expr}() syntax is now supported: |
|
class A { |
|
static function foo() { |
|
echo "Hello world!\n"; |
|
} |
|
} |
|
$x = "f"; |
|
$y = "o"; |
|
A::{$x.$y.$y}(); |
|
|
|
- Class member access on instantiation: |
|
(new foo)->method() |
|
(new foo)->property |
|
(new foo)[0] |
|
|
|
|
|
