The funniest thing happened to me today. I was coding a PHP script and made a terrible mistake. Instead of coding "parent::init();" I added an unnecessary $ sign and it showed: "$parent::init();".
When tested it for the first time I received the most weird error message:
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM? What is this? Malaysian? Chinese? An ancient Amazon dialect?
Well, the answer is very funny. It appears that original PHP code had been developed by 2 Israelis, whose language is Hebrew. This is Hebrew for "Double Colon". Here is what PHP site has to say about this:
The original Israeli coders just forgot some Hebrew within the internals of the language, and by now it's too late to change…
All I did was coding:
$parent::init();
Instead of this:
parent::init();
The parser couldn't understand what I wanted when entering the double colon… - sorry, PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM…
