When you initialize new class, the error message does not point the line in the class which causes said error message, but points to a line where Class is initialized instead. Test script: --------------- // Foo.php <?php class Foo { const BAR = 1; protected $message = BAR; // <- this line is intentionally incorrect public function __construct($message) { $this->message = $message; echo "Initialized with {$this->message}"; } } // test.php <?php include 'Foo.php'; $var = new Foo(Foo::BAR); Expected result: ---------------- Expected result: Notice: Use of undefined constant BAR - assumed 'BAR' in Foo.php on line 5 Actual result: -------------- Actual result: Notice: Use of undefined constant BAR - assumed 'BAR' in test.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67007&edit=1
