This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php Available in 5.6+. http://3v4l.org/KCsVh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-09 19:17:07] aharvey@php.net Support for constant scalar expressions was added in PHP 5.6: http://php.net/manual/en/migration56.new-features.php#migration56.new-features.const-scalar-exprs Closing won't fix, since we won't be adding this to 5.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-09 19:13:13] randomdev4+phpbugs at gmail dot com Description: ------------ As per test script, define() works, and a simple variable works. But the moment you try to define a const in a class, PHP complains with the error below: Parse error: parse error, expecting ','' or ';'' in /Users/ben/test.php on line 8 Test script: --------------- <?php define(X,1/8); echo X."\n"; $y=1/8; echo $y."\n"; class foo { const bar = 1/8; } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68579&edit=1
