What's the story behind the ::
's sometimes token name
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
I'm mainly interested in knowing if
For those of you who don't know, in PHP T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is the token name for :: , the static separator. It's Hebrew for double colon.
Using Token Authentication in your PHP application lets you allow the user to log in with a username and password once, retrieve the access and refresh tokens, and then store those on the client. All future requests will be made using the access token to identify the user.
From the PHP docs:
Paamayim Nekudotayim would, at first, seem like a strange choice for naming a double-colon. However, while writing the Zend Engine 0.5 (which powers PHP 3), that's what the Zend team decided to call it. It actually does mean double-colon - in Hebrew!
It's the scope resolution operator.
