"\n"; //produces notice } } $t = new Test(); $t -> printConst(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The following output should be printed: const Test::TEMP = hi const TEMP = hi Actual result: -------------- const Test::TEMP = hi PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant TEMP - assumed 'TEMP' in C:\Temp\test.php on line 8 const TEMP = TEMP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28005&edit=1
