PHP 5.6 does not support that syntax, and I don't think {}s can help with it. PHP 7 does. https://3v4l.org/ad03D Looking at the spec [1], I see two problems with "$obj->childClass::$var": 1. $obj->childClass would be classified as a scope-resolution-qualifer > expression, which "must be a value of type string [...] that contains the name of a class or interface type". This is not true: objects are supported, as seen in class Example { static $foo = "bar"; } $e = new Example(); echo $e::$foo; // bar 2. $var must be a member-selection-designator, however that is defined [2] as either a name (without a '$') or "a value of type string [...] that contains the name of an instance property (without the leading $) [or a method]". Neither of those cover the static property usage (which the prose for the scope-resolution operator calls "otherwise"), thus referencing member-selection-designator is insufficient; I think adding a ":: $ name" covers this case. So I'm repurposing this bug to deal with the spec.
