Description:
------------
When creating a class that contains a class variable array being filled (in this case in the wrong way) like:

$this->$Variable[] = "whatever";
(!! notice second $ )

PHP produces no output and no error message ($Variable is empty BTW, does not exist). In a script with a couple of hundred of lines of code it is a nightmare trying to locate a typo like this with no help from PHP.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Test {
  var $Variable = Array();
  function Test(){
    $this->$Variable[] = "Test string";
  }
}

$object = new Test();


Expected result:
----------------
Error message.

Actual result:
--------------
No output (this comes from PHP):

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use [] for reading in /home/jani/t.php on line 6

Very stupid mistake. E_COMPILE_ERROR was not defined in the php.ini and so the message was not displayed.

Still not a bug. Leave as bogus.
