Page: https://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.other-reserved-words.php `parent` and `self` can be used as function names and constant names, but cannot be used as OO construct names since PHP 5.0, making them part of the "other" reserved keywords. Example: https://3v4l.org/P6c7v Note sure why these weren't listed, but feels like they should be. Co-authored-by: jrfnl <jrfnl@users.noreply.github.com>

The following is a listing of predefined identifiers in PHP. None
|
|
of the identifiers listed here should be used as identifiers in any of
|
|
your scripts unless explicitly noted otherwise. These lists include keywords and predefined variables,
|
|
constant, and class names. These lists are neither exhaustive nor
|
|
complete.

<title>List of Keywords</title>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
These words have special meaning in PHP. Some of them represent things
|
|
which look like functions, some look like constants, and so on - but
|
|
they're not, really: they are language constructs.
|
|
The following words cannot be used as constants, class names, or function names.
|
|
They are, however, allowed as property, constant, and
|
|
method names of classes, interfaces and traits, except that
|
|
<literal>class</literal> may not be used as constant name.

usage of them is highly discouraged since they may be
