Question

Here’s a very bare class with one static method. I cannot for the life of me work out why it’s throwing the error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING’ in
C:…\error.php on line 7

This is the code:

<?php

    # Error class to handle errors
    class Error
    {
        # Function to throw an error - which redirects with error msg
        public static function Throw($id, $dest) // line 7
        {
            System::Redirect($dest."&e=$id");
            exit;
        }
    }

?>

Answer 1

Throw is a reserved keyword, therefore you cannot use it as a method name.
