hi,
I just wanted to say about 'include' ... er no actually
I have this little thing with constant() which I asked about
on php-generals and the response from a couple of regulars
suggest it might be a bug, or more correctly, an inconsistency.

tested with PHP 5.0.5-dev
<?php
/* Causes E_WARNING */
echo "constant('UNDEFINED_CONSTANT')\n";
echo constant('UNDEFINED_CONSTANT');
/* Causes E_NOTICE */
echo "UNDEFINED_CONSTANT\n";
echo UNDEFINED_CONSTANT;
?>
should(may) I submit a bugreport?
-------- Original Message --------
anybody here know what the logic is behind constant() triggering a warning
if the named constant is not found?
contrived example:
<?
$cnst = "DEBUG";
// what I want to do but can't
if ($dbg = constant($cnst)) {
// do stuff
}
// the only real option, it seems - bit long winded to get round a stupid (IMHO)
if (defined($cnst) && ($dbg = constant($cnst))) {
// do stuff
}
PLEASE - nobody need bother to tell me about the @ operator, I am
aware of it but I don't want to use it in this case. (addition: not for a
warning)
thanks & rgds,
jochem
