I think it could be a good idea that the following code worked as expected. If the constant is not defined, PHP could print a NOTICE and use the name of the constant instead. Reproduce code: --------------- <? define("ROOT", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); class FIIFO { const PATH = ROOT."/path/to/this/class"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- As PATH is a constant, (FIIFO::PATH == "/www/path/to/this/class") for example. Actual result: -------------- A parse error... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30177&edit=1
