That's not possible, as constants are declared at compile time, while
functions are executed at runtime.

Description:
------------
You can define a global constant based on the return of a function yet
you cannot do so for class constants.
eg. define( 'MAGIC_QUOTES', ( (bool)get_magic_quotes_gpc() ), true );
Requesting a method to assign class constants in a manner similar to
global constants
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class parser
{
const magic_quotes = (bool)get_magic_quotes_gpc();
public my_stripslashes( $str )
{
if( self::magic_quotes === true )
{
$str = stripslashes( $str );
}
return $str;
}
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Constant "magic_quotes" to be assigned the boolean value of
get_magic_quotes_gpc's return.
Actual result:
--------------
With boolean cast:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOL_CAST in parser.php on line
4
Without boolean cast:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in
parser.php on line 4
