Hi,
I currently got the 3.0.2 build 2045 version.
I see from my tests that nucoder does not support all of the 5.3 features.

Before paying the $100 nucoder upgrade (for last version) for a probable discontinued product, I would like to know if it will actually support full 5.3 features?

Particularily:
- Late Static Binding
- Closures

here are 2 sample that will fail with nucoder:

--> Notice the "static::"

Code:

class Automobile {
static $horn = "beep";
static function honkHorn() {
// echo self::$horn;
//PHP 5.3's new late-static binding feature: use the static keyword to reference the class attribute that will be displayed rather than the self keyword:
echo static::$horn;
}
}

class GeneralLee extends Automobile {
static $horn = "HONKITY HONK HONKY TONK!!!";
}

//What do you believe will happen when the following command is called?
GeneralLee::honkHorn();

closures (or anonymous functions if you prefer):

Code:

$history = 'The Magna Carta was signed on 06-15-1215.';

echo preg_replace_callback("|(d{2})-(d{2})-(d{2})|",
function($matches) {
return "{$matches[2]}-{$matches[1]}-{$matches[3]}";
},
$history
);

Currently Nucoder do not recognize the statements ("parse error, unexepected _STATIC")

I am ok to stick to php 5.3 because most of the features of 5.4 got me thinking "Hey, I don't need that"
(except for simplified array declarations)

But a decent support of the 5.3 langage version would be necessary.

Thanks for your answer

Of course NuCoder is compatible with all php 5.3 features, including static and closures.
Looks like you did not specify -c 5.3 command line argument or didn't select PHP 5.3 or higher in the GUI settings. In this case, nucoder runs pre-5.3 builtin php parser to make sure that your script will run under previous versions of php (5.2 by default). Since your code is not pre-5.3 compatible, you must user -c 5.3 Smile

. I hope it's clear.

Hi,
well, RTFM Embarassed

I am glab I was wrong and to continue relying on nu-coder.
PHP 5.3 is all I need for my projects.

Thanks
