1.2.666. Maybe Missing New¶
This functioncall looks like a class instantiation that is missing the new keyword.
Any function definition was found for that function, but a class with that name was. New is probably missing.
<?php
// Functioncall
$a = foo();
// Class definition
class foo {}
// Function definition
function foo {}
// Functioncall
$a = BAR;
// Function definition
class bar {}
// Constant definition
const BAR = 1;
?>
1.2.666.1. Suggestions¶
Add the new
