If you call a constant of a class in a trait (of that class), it works. BUT, if you want to test its existence by 'defined' it's always return false. Test script: --------------- class MyClass{ use MyTrait; const MY_CONST = 'TEST'; } Trait MyTrait{ public function testConst() { echo self::MY_CONST; var_dump(defined(self::MY_CONST)); } } $myClass = new MyClass(); $myClass->testConst(); Expected result: ---------------- Test boolean true Actual result: -------------- Test boolean false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66034&edit=1
