Description:
------------
The php parsing engine will not allow class methods that are named include/require/include_once/require_once. While I understand why you cannot create functions with these names, $object->include() or CLASS::include() in no way conflicts with include().

Is there a reason for this or is it an oversight in the parser?


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class MW
{
	function require_once($file)
	{

	}
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
No parse error =)

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE_ONCE, expecting T_STRING in .....

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

Because require is a reserved keyword.
