Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-27 02:18:50] jonny at sanriowasteland dot net Description: ------------ Class Constants cannot use expressions, apparently they can only be numbers or strings. This could be similar to bug #25323, but php does not crash, just returns a parse error. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class TestConstBreak { const SOME_EXPRESSION = 5+5; const SOME_BIG_EXPRESSOIN = (5 + 2) * 3; const LS_EXPRESSION = 5<<2; const SOME_STRING_EXPRESSION = "foo"."bar"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- The expected result is to be able to use expressions in class constants without causing parse errors. Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected '+', expecting ',' or ';' in php5Breakage.php on line 5 When I comment out line 5: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(' in php5Breakage.php on line 6 And when I comment out line 6: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_SL, expecting ',' or ';' in php5Breakage.php on line 7 And when I comment out line 7: Parse error: parse error, unexpected ".", expecting ',' or ';' in php5Breakage.php on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26431&edit=1
