This is unexpected because all other methods like getMethod() or getProperty() which have equivalent signatures and fuction throw a ReflectionException. The return value is also not documented. Test script: --------------- ``` <?php class Foo {} $barClassReflection = new ReflectionClass(Foo::class); var_dump($barClassReflection->getReflectionConstant('XXX')); ``` https://3v4l.org/k09Q8 Expected result: ---------------- Throw exception like the other methods on ReflectionClass to behave consistently and document this behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77326&edit=1
