Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class just_constants

// These don't work.
const BOOLEAN_CONSTANT = True;
const NULL_CONSTANT = Null;
// These do work.
const STRING_CONSTANT = 'This is a string';
const INTEGER_CONSTANT = 1000;
const FLOAT_CONSTANT = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795;
}
Reflection::export(new ReflectionClass('just_constants'));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Class [ <user> class just_constants ] {
@@ D:\Data\PHP\Includes\ERT\rcerr.php 2-10
- Constants [5] {

In zend_API.c (/* $Id: zend_API.c,v 1.347 2006/02/22 12:02:44 dmitry
Exp $ */) Lines 217 to 250 - zend_zval_type_name() has the capability
to return the 'boolean' and 'null' values. Though 'string' is shown as
'native string' in the source code and that change was made V1.304
17/08/2005 but has not been compiled maybe? Is the zend engine slow to
update as compared to the main PHP code? Are there other changes not
being made here? I did a binary search on all of the dlls and exes and
no mention of 'native string'. At around byte 0x2728B0 in php5ts.dll
the text for the return values from the zend_zval_type_name function
are stored.

Interestingly enough this example(btw there's an error at end of DEFINE
- define("FOOBAR",0x0008): <- this should be ;) when copy paste and run
dies with Fatal error: Trying to clone an uncloneable object of class
ReflectionClass in c:\serverroot\test.php on line 11
but If I put a reference in $o=new ReflectionClass("MyClass");
making it $o=&new ReflectionClass("MyClass");
then I actualy get the message ("actual result") that Michael
stated....
I'm using php 5.0.1 (release version) on XP Pro under Apache
1.3.31....
Hope this helps somehow...

Description:
------------
I have a variable classname i have to get a constant/static property
from.
${$classname}::stuff
doesn't work, so i have to use the reflection api.
This works for strings and numbers, but when i try to use getConstant()
upon a constant that is defined as another constant, it returns
UNKNOWN:0.
This happens for user defined constants as well as things like `true'.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
define("FOOBAR",0x0008):
class Myclass {
const foo = true;
const bar = FOOBAR;
const works = "yes it does";
}
$o=new ReflectionClass("MyClass");
var_dump($o->getConstant("foo"));
var_dump($o->getConstant("bar"));
var_dump($o->getConstant("works"));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
int(8)
string(11) "yes it does"
Actual result:
--------------
UNKNOWN:0
UNKNOWN:0
string(11) "yes it does"
