Chris,
A work around I've used in the past has been to use a keyed array such as:
$MyEnums = array(
"is" => "This",
"at" => "That",
"er" => "Other"
);
Then you can refer to them like:
echo($MyEnums["is"]); // Prints "This"
Just an idea.

We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same
box.
