Hi Jakob,
It would be nice if in PHP 6 using constant parameters for functions and methods would be possible. This feature is e.g. available in Java. function doSth (const A) {
    if (defined ("A")) echo "A is a constant";
} doSth ("foo"); Cheers, Jay
This makes absolute no sense, why you want this? -- Marco

It's just a way of ensuring that a parameter cannot be changed within a method (e.g. an id). I am using this feature frequently in Java. It actually got no "deeper" sense, but it's just a nice feature I'd like to use in PHP too. :-) Cheers, Jay
