Bug description: Error while using a constant in header()-function
Description:
------------
Hi,
while using a constant for defining a hyperlink-target (http-adress) and
using this constand to do a header();redirect there comes an object not
found-error (404) in the browser.
The reason is that php could not interpret the value of the constant and
using the constants name for the header();-function.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Not working code:
<?php
define('HOME', 'http://www.google.de');
header("Location: HOME");
?>
WORKING CODE:
<?php
define('HOME', 'http://www.google.de');
$home_var = HOME;
header("Location: $home_var");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I expected a redirct to the defined value of the constant, in this example
'http://www.google.de'.
Actual result:
--------------
The browser is redircting to /HOME using the actual url of the page and
just adding /HOME (which is the name of the constant, not the value) in the
end of the adress bar.
