PHP version: 5.0.1
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: Change for const
Description:
------------
hello,
const is too restrictive in PHP.
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...
