Hi there,

It must be a bug in PhpStorm.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-30239 --> https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-27451 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.

Hello,

this is not the same thing.

PHP 7 allows declarations of array constants

const COLORS = ['red => 1, 'blue' => 2];

then, to check if a color is set

$mycolor = 'red';
if (isset(COLORS[$mycolor])) echo 'Yes';
          ^Expecting: variable

However PhpStorm, even setting PHP to v7, shows a syntax error "Expecting: variable" after isset.

Is there a way to configure this, or do we have to wait for a coming version?

Thanks

Actually, it is the same thing. Have you taken a look at WI-30239?
There's no way to configure this, we have to wait until the causing issue is fixed.
