Pffth, you just need to learn Hebrew before you learn PHP. That says "double dot twice".

This was introduced by Zend, which is israeli. Thus the Hebrew.

I first saw that error in a pre-Google world. It took a few days for me to figure out what it meant.

  $ php -r '::'
  Parse error: parse error in Command line code on line 1

Edit:

Hrm, if I try it on my DreamHost account, I get something more similar to yours:

  $ php -r '::'
  Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in Command line code on line 1
