Bug description: Unable to instanciate a class who's name is in a constant
Description:
------------
If you use define to set the name of a class to a constant, you can't use
it to instanciate the class.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class foo {}
define('MYCLASS', 'foo');
$f = new MYCLASS(); # Won't work
$f = new $_CONSTANTS['MYCLASS'](); # Won't work
$s = MYCLASS;
$f = new $s(); # Works
?>
Expected result:
----------------
These way of instanciating the foo class should all work.
Actual result:
--------------
The two first syntax produce the same result:
Fatal error: Class name must be a valid object or a string
