There is a bug in PDT that incorrectly marks legitimate code as broken.

When accessing a class constant that is an array via self or static it thinks '[' shouldn't be there.

For example.

01: class DataPoint {
02:   const _TO_REGEX		= array(
03:     'int'		=> '/^[+-]?\d+$/',
04:   );
05: 
06:   public function _construct($type, $value) {
07:     if($type == 'int') {
08:       if(!preg_match(self::_TO_REGEX['int'], $value)) {
09:         // throw error
10:       }
11:     }
12:   }
13: }


Gives me the error: "syntax error, unexpected '['" at line 8 and it underlines the '[' in red.

The problem is this code is 100% valid and runs fine. What's even worse if that if I replace "self::" with "$this->" the error goes away, but now the code is truly broken as you can't access a constant using $this.

It's as if someone got their parsing backwards when it comes to constants. Or perhaps the lack of dollar sign in the statement is what is tripping up the parser. Either way, this is a bug and needs to be fixed.

Constant array access is available since PHP 5.6 so make sure you have project (or wide workspace) set to PHP 5.6 or 7
