File:chmod(__DIR__, 750, true, true, true); triggers chmod

[remco-pc]

Description

The following code:

File:chmod(__DIR__, 750, true, true, true);
<?php

Resulted in this output:

ArgumentCountError: chmod() expects exactly 2 arguments, 5 given in /Application/vendor/raxon/framework/src/Cli/Cache/Plugin/Cache.Clear.php:22

But I expected this output instead:
it should be :

File::chmod() 

so the call was a static call to the class file, but was missing a ':' and because of that it does unwanted behaviour like triggering a different function named chmod

Hi. php treat : as goto labels, so File:chmod's intend behavior is to find label File and if it doesn't exist (which is true in your case) call the global method chmod. That's a correct behavior IMO.

I assume you are asking for a more accurate error message to reflect users might mis-type :: to :? Then that might be feature request and I don't stand for that, caz this will confuse normal users.

Could you be more specific on what feature you want?

@LamentXU123 sorry i don't use jumps in php code yet and avoid them and did not know of the label feature name.
I think the choice of making File::chmod and File:chmod with the same parameter a mistake in bug findings in php and is overlooked quiet easy
