it may never have been intended to work, however the error really
should be a little ...ermm.. better...

I can't be bothered to download and compile a CVS snapshot, so if
someone else wants to test feel free, else close the bug, I'm not
really that bothered about this oddity :)

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

[url]http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz[/url]

For Windows:

[url]http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip[/url]

The instance of operator was never intended to work with literals, the

"parameter" must always be a variable.
