PHP 8.3 Lazy static initialization for non constants #8073
Description
Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 24
What happened
I'm getting syntax error on valid syntax when language level is on 8.3.
Since PHP 8.3 lazy static initialization happens during runtime instead of compile time, allowing non-constants to be assigned (functions, and even class variables).

How to reproduce
class MyClass
{
private int $variable = 1;
function run() : void
{
static $functionResult = rand(); // shows "unexpected '(' after rand" error
static $classVariable = $this->variable; // shows "unexpected '$this' after =" error
}
}Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
