Req #67455 [NEW]: Allow dynamic expression for const

From: hacksmw at naver dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.6.0beta4 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Allow dynamic expression for const Description: ------------ In PHP 5.6, const supports static expression. But it still does not support dynamic expression. So please implement the ability to use dynamic expressions when using const. I think that const should replace define() entirely. const is much more readable and natural than define(). Test script: --------------- <?php const PI = atan(1)*4; const RANDOM = rand(); echo PI . "\n"; echo RANDOM . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- 3.141592653589793 445 Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\Users\hack s_000\Desktop\test.php on line 2 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67455&edit=1 --
