PHP 5.3.0beta1 which is older than 5.2.9 is not affected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-08 22:55:57] david at grudl dot com Description: ------------ Function defined() is very strict whether class constant is checking. Non-declared (and not-autoloaded) class can be rather expressed as FALSE than fatal error. Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump( defined('Test::VALUE') ); Expected result: ---------------- FALSE Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class 'Test' not found ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47601&edit=1
