Hi!

I've found an odd problem that looks like just a problem with the parser syntax.  The following example will show it:

<?php

namespace Test:Test2 {
class Test3 {
static $blah = "qwerty";
}
}

// this works as expected by printing out "qwerty";
print "Test:Test2::Test3::\$blah: ".Test:Test2::Test3::$blah."<br>\n";


namespace Test4 {
class Test5 {
static $blah = "asdf";
}
}

// this causes a parse error: unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
print "Test4::Test5::\$blah: ".Test4::Test5::$blah."<br>\n";

?>

So, if the namespace name has a : in it, then you can reference variables within a class contained within the namespace, otherwise you can't. So, assuming that the : doesn't do anything special, it looks like a problem with the flex/yacc/whatever it is parser and the engine should cope with it.

I think that's everything.

Ben
