Description: ------------ This is more than a feature than a bug. Usage of '{}' is not unified at all. Why this syntax: $this->{'function'}; works, but: {'function'}(); doesn't? It's really confusing. In "test script" form i am giving you full example of it. Test script: --------------- <?php function myFunction(){}; // {'myFunction'}(); // doesn't work $str = 'myFunction'; $str(); // works class myClass { public $bar = 'myClass'; public $test = 'myClass'; public function foo() { } } // $class = new {'myClass'}(); // doesn't work $str = "myClass"; $class = new $str(); // works $class->{'foo'}(); // works // $class2 = new {$class->test}; // doesn't work $class2 = new $class->test(); // works Expected result: ---------------- syntax {'myFunction'}(); should work syntax $class = new {'myClass'}(); should work syntax $class2 = new {$class->test}; should work Actual result: -------------- only calling methods and getting properties of class works in that way.
