Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

That is because of the uniform variable syntax implemented as of
PHP 7, see <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniform_variable_syntax>.
