Question

I’ve almost lost my mind trying to understand why my local server (apache on Ubuntu) started to give a 500 message.

It turned out that the problem was caused by a function called classView(). I renamed it to classTemplateView() but still 500. Then I’ve tried with stupidView() (I was getting tired) and it worked again.

I’ve searched a while but I haven’t found anything saying that class inside a function name is “prohibited”, is it?

Answer 1

No, it’s fine: “class” on its own is a reserved word, but not when it’s part of another word.

A quick test script:

<?php

function classView()
{
    echo 'test';
}

classView();

Echoes ‘test’ as expected.
