Description:
------------
test on docker php:(7.3.0~7.4.1)-cli-alpine

```
$ docker run --rm -ti php:7.3.21-cli-alpine sh
/ # php -a
Interactive shell

php > class A {}
php > class B {}
php > var_dump((new class() extends A {}) instanceof A);
bool(true)
php > var_dump((new class() extends B {}) instanceof B);
bool(false)
```

if running with a php file, it's work.

```
$ docker run --rm -ti php:7.3.21-cli-alpine sh
/ # cat <<EOF>>/tmp/test.php
> <?php
> class A {}
> class B {}
> var_dump((new class() extends A {}) instanceof A);
> var_dump((new class() extends B {}) instanceof B);
> EOF
/ # php -f /tmp/test.php
bool(true)
bool(true)
```

Test script:
---------------
class A {}
class B {}
var_dump((new class() extends A {}) instanceof A);
var_dump((new class() extends B {}) instanceof B);

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
bool(false)

Interestingly,

    php > var_dump((new class() extends B {}) instanceof A);
    bool(true)

Seems fine in 7.4.9.

Pretty clear that PHP is reusing the class definitions: if you change where the definition is then it works.

> var_dump((new class extends A {}) instanceof A);
bool(true)
> var_dump((new class extends B {}) instanceof B);
bool(false)
> var_dump(false || (new class extends B {}) instanceof B);
bool(true)
> var_dump(false || (new class extends A {}) instanceof A);
bool(false)

The problem is the way we compute the name of the anonymous class
in PHP 7.3, namely by adding the filename and lexing position[1].
The filename is fixed for the interactive shell ("php shell
code"), and the lexing position starts at zero per line; so in
this case both classes have the same name.  If there was a space
at the beginning of the fourth input line, for instance, that
collision would not have occured.

The compution of anonymous class names has been changed in PHP
7.4[2], so this issue is resolved there.

So no, this will not be fixed for PHP 7.3; either upgrade to PHP
7.4, or work around the issue by inserting whitespace where
necessary.
