Whilst I can accept that the constant may be present somewhere in the class structure, the calling class name would aid in the error. Test script: --------------- <?php class A{ const NAME = 'A valid class'; } class B{ } foreach(array('A','B') as $s_ClassName){ echo $s_ClassName::NAME, PHP_EOL; } Expected result: ---------------- A valid class PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'NAME' for class 'B' in - on line 6 Actual result: -------------- A valid class PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'NAME' in - on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65274&edit=1
