Hack {$variable} is not accepted as valid construction
Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 21
What happened
I use PHP's variable hack {$variable} in case when I need to use - but I found that this hack is not accepted as valid construction, at least in some cases.
I wanted to use this construction
$this -> result[$key] = {$this -> used_function}($this -> checked_string, $expression);
to produce code like (that is part of very simple class for massive validation based on regular expressions)
$this -> result[$name] = any_function($this -> checked_string, $expression);
but Netbeans sees code with hack {$variable} as invalid - and marks it by red colour. But it is a very strange, because in else case (writen below) it was accepted as valid.
CalendarCheck::{$this -> calendar_check_method}($index_of_years)
It is a very problematic, if one feature is accepted in some cases - and not in else cases. It would be very good if this could be corrected.

How it looks in case if hack is not accepted
How it looks in case if hack is accepted
It seems like it is a (known) bug of PHP, not issue of NetBeans.
