Re: string operators for assigning class constants

this is a php generals type of question. Sebastian schreef:

hi, why isn't it possible to assign class constants like this: class test {

           const DIR='dirname'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'anotherdirname'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

} is there some performance issue?

classes are defined at compile time, so are their const declarations - it's not possible to evaluate an expression at compile time. with define('FOO', 'bar'.QUX); you can do it because the define occurs at run time.

anyone ever tried this or was there a discussion about it? i would find this very useful.....

find another way to do 'it' :-)
