possible workarounds:

}

class A {

}

Description:
------------
It is not possible to set a class-constant to the value of negative
infinity (-INF) while it is possible to set it to any float value or
even to positive infinity (INF) or not-a-number (NAN).

configuration:
- no configure options
- no changes to php.ini

Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {

    const a = -INF;

}

echo is_infinite(A::a);


Expected result:
----------------
1

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /path/to/file/filename.php on
line n
