Bug description:define() accepts characters out of range
Description:
------------
Constants can be defined with invalid characters in the name. The
documentation is correct but there seems to be no validation that matches
the docs when the constant's name is assigned to zend_constant.name
According to the docs on Constants:
The name of a constant follows the same rules as any label in PHP. A valid
constant name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of
letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be
expressed thusly: [a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*
Test script:
---------------
<?php
define('/', 'slash');
echo constant('/'); // works
echo /; // parse error as expected
?>
Expected result:
----------------
define() should throw an error stating that the constant name has invalid
characters in it
