Re: [SMARTY] Calling object methods

You're right, we should ignore PHP5. Sarcasm aside, I would assume  
the Smarty developers would like Smarty to be PHP5 friendly and  
support as much PHP5 stuff as possible. I don't see this as a  
"feature", but simply the fact that Smarty isn't fully PHP5 compatible.

So, I guess, it's not a bug since Smarty doesn't tout itself to be  
PHP5 compatible. When it *does* tout itself as PHP5 compatible and  
this problem isn't fixed *then* it would be a bug.

Either way this should be filed as a "bug report" - whether it's  
filed as a "feature" or a "bug" is up to whoever submits it I  
suppose. Like I said, this problem breaks what I perceive to be  
expected behavior only because ($foo->bar()} already works in Smarty.
