class Grade {
enum {
A_PLUS,
A,
B_PLUS,

...,
FAIL,
NOT_AVAILABLE,
}
public static function passing($grade) {
return $grade>=self::D;

}
$grade=Grade::B;
echo Grade::passing($grade)?"passing":"not passing";
Shouldn't that be:
public static function passing($grade) {
-return $grade>=self::D;

It seems to me, however, that what you are suggesting makes them almost the same
as classes, and I don't really think there is any point in doi

Hi!
I should comment on why people want strings as enum values - just look
at ENUM type in MySQL. People use it, and if you take a look from that
perspective - it makes sense.
Enum type in the database is totally different because it's a
constraint, not an alias to some underlying piece of da

Everybody agree that an enum is a set, in the mathematically point of view,
of names and values.
What we are discussing here is what should be those "values".
IMO that should be a programm
Let me jump in here and say that I agree that strings are useful. IMO
any scalar type should be allowed for enum's. String enum's are great
for understanding debug data. Also it would integrate smoothly with
MySQL enums (building queries) and when you want to model enumerations

But we are not a MySQL only world, so it does not make sense to do
