[PHP] "const" in PHP

[BENARD Jean-philippe]

Hi,

        With the ArcaAttributes class definition (see below) I've an arror
when trying to use one of the constants of this class as this :

        echo ArcaAttributes::ATT_EMPLOYEENUMBER;

        Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in
/dtpdev01/dtp/racine-web/arca_test/test.php on line 117

        It seams waiting only functions when using "::".

Could someone help me ? How to define constant in a cless without the
"define()" function ? (I don't want to use the define function because it
makes the constant defined everywhere).

Many thanks in advance !
