Heredoc support for initializing consts and static members (fixes #70227) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-08-10 12:21:26] dpa-bugs at aegee dot org Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.types.string --- The above page states under Heredocs: " As of PHP 5.3.0, it's possible to initialize static variables and class properties/constants using the Heredoc syntax:" Example #4 Using Heredoc to initialize static values" The example shows how to use heredoc to put data in const member. But under nowdocs it states: "Unlike heredocs, nowdocs can be used in any static data context. The typical example is initializing class properties or constants: Example #7 Static data example" Then http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php repeats "Unlike heredocs, nowdocs can be used in any static data context. " The contradition is that Example 4 demonstrates how to use heredoc to store data in const member, but the text describes this as not allowed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70227&edit=1
