Bug #38098 [Com]: String concatenation

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38098&edit=1 ID: 38098 Comment by: nicolas dot hureau at kwift dot com Reported by: wiart at yahoo dot com Summary: String concatenation Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Linux (Fedora core 4) - AMD64 PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Actually, operations are not permitted while declaring properties or class constants, and that is quite annoying. For example: public $two = 1 + 1; or const two = 1 + 1; or public static $two = 1 + 1; won't compile.
