Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The define() works in runtime.

I think this should go in the docs, as well if this issue with define() wont be fixed, to be documented too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-15 15:29:42] kenashkov at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The current implementatino of namespaces is case INSENSITIVE. But defining a constant using define and having capitals in the namespace makes the defined constant unreachable. We can verify this using get_defined_constants(). In case a constant was defined like: <? namespace NS1::ns2; const const1; ?> we can see the the defined constant/namespace is in fact: ns1::ns2::const1; But if the constant was defined using define(), it is kept with the capitalization: <? define('NS1::ns2::const1','value'); ?> get_defined_constants() gives NS1::ns2::const1. But because the namespaces are case insensitive the call: <? print NS1::ns2::const1; ?> resolves in fact to ns1::ns2::const1 which is undefined. Reproduce code: --------------- <? define('NS1::ns2::const1','value'); print NS1::ns2::const1;//error //print ns1::ns2::const1;//would give error too ?> Expected result: ---------------- value Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class 'NS1::ns2' not found in /home/local/tests/t35.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46304&edit=1
