ID: 27523 Updated by: nlopess@php.net Reported By: random at sinfusion dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 5.0.0b4 (beta4) New Comment: I wouldn't fix anything for this bug report, althought classes and OO need a huge rewrite because of PHP 5. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-09 12:07:33] random at sinfusion dot com Then I would reclassify this as a documentation issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-09 08:45:50] sniper@php.net Because you have to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-08 12:09:15] random at sinfusion dot com Okay, that sounds like a workaround, but you don't have to do that in the body of the class function. Why should you have to do it differently here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-08 11:28:42] wevegotafileonyou at hotmail dot com You need to prepend the classname to the constant name (or use 'self') eg: TestConstants::CONST_1 self::CONST_1 -- sleepeasy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-07 22:29:43] random at sinfusion dot com Description: ------------ Constants declared within a class are not recognized as such when used as function parameter default values for functions within the class. Reproduce code: --------------- class TestConstants { const CONST_1 = 1; function test ($param = CONST_1) { echo $param; } } $test = new TestConstants(); $test->test(); Expected result: ---------------- 1 Actual result: -------------- Notice: Use of undefined constant CONST_1 - assumed 'CONST_1' in f:\dev\Web\pervercity.com\test\testconstants.class.php on line 8 CONST_1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27523&edit=1
