Now it is impossible and can be done throw namespace constants, for example, But this replacement very uncomfortable. Test script: --------------- trait A { const CONST_A = 'value of A::A'; } class B { use A; public static function getA() { return self::CONST_A; } } echo B::getA(); Expected result: ---------------- value of A::A Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Traits cannot have constants in php shell code on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70986&edit=1
