ID: 29447 Comment by: kevinphpdotnet at stormtide dot ca Reported By: wb at pro-net dot co dot uk Status: Open Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: In addition to the issues reported, It will also invoke __autoload to try to find the Reflection_Class class generating a Warning: __autoload(... file ...) failed to open stream. as its trying to find the source file to locate the reflection api base classes.

The reflection API does not invoke the __autoload() function when checking to see if a class exists. Therefore if you rely on the __autoload() function to call the required files you get a 'ReflectionException' exception with message 'Class XXXX does not exist' 2. The reflection API returns object of UNKNOWN type in the constants array when you call the $class->getConstants() method when a class constant is defined like so: const BBB = SameClass::AAA; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29447&edit=1
