Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 24

What happened

I'm getting syntax error on valid syntax when language level is on 8.3.

Since PHP 8.3 lazy static initialization happens during runtime instead of compile time, allowing non-constants to be assigned (functions, and even class variables).

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

How to reproduce

class MyClass
{
    private int $variable = 1;
    function run() : void
    {
        static $functionResult = rand(); // shows "unexpected '(' after rand" error
        static $classVariable = $this->variable; // shows "unexpected '$this' after =" error
    }
}

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know
