Quoth the incompatibilities list:

  Static variable and class member initializers only accept scalar values (in PHP
  3.0 they accepted any valid expression). The impact should be small, since 
  initializers with anything but a simple static value rarely make sense. 

A workaround is to create a constructor that sets the value of $test:

class test
{
  var $test;
  function test ()
  {
    $this->test = $PHP_SELF;
  }
}
