Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67225&edit=1 ID: 67225 Updated by: bwoebi@php.net Reported by: sjon at hortensius dot net Summary: Parser accepts Arrays as class-constants -Status: Assigned +Status: Suspended Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Archlinux PHP Version: 5.6.0beta2 Assigned To: bwoebi Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The error message clearly says _at run-time_. If you use it in compile-time only constructs, no problem. I'll need to talk to other people later, but I'm relatively busy as of now. Suspending for the next few weeks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-05-07 11:16:09] sjon at hortensius dot net Description: ------------ I have been going through 3v4l.org submitted scripts to find anomalies in 5.6.0-beta2; and I found http://3v4l.org/8Yl8V where the parser accepts an Array as class-constant; but when using that constant you still get a fatal error. This seems incorrect. Here you see 5.6.0-beta2 incorrectly doesn't generate a fatal error: http://3v4l.org/8Yl8V Here you see it does generate an error when using the const: http://3v4l.org/LG2EM Test script: --------------- <?php interface exampleInterface { const _TYPE = array( "name1" => "0", "name2" => "1", "name3" => "2" ); public function x(); } // Uncommenting this shows a Fatal error; but it should be show regardless //class A implements exampleInterface { public function x(){var_dump(self::_TYPE);}}$a = new A;$a->x(); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Arrays are not allowed in constants at run-time in /in/LG2EM on line 19 Process exited with code 255. Actual result: -------------- "" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67225&edit=1
