New Comment:
The parse error thrown complains about the print(someData['foo']) line.
Sorry if this wasn't clear. Also expected output would probably be more
like "bar ..var_dump output.. bar.

Description:
------------
Constants defined inside classes can be defined as an array
prepopulated with key, value pairs; however this data is not directly
accessible.
It is possible to create a local variable copy of the constant at
runtime and use it to access the data.
If class constants are not meant to be able to hold array data, then a
parse error should of been thrown on the 'const' declaration.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class test {
const someData = array('foo' => 'bar');
function __construct() {
$dataCopy = someData;
print($dataCopy['foo']); // This works
print(var_dump(someData)); // This works (shows all array
information)
print(someData['foo']); // This throws a parse error
}
}
$obj = new test();
Expected result:
----------------
bar
bar
bar
.. Jackpot! :)
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '['
