note 60971 added to language.types.string

If you really want to get constants inside your string you can do something like this (PHP5 only). <?php class GetConstant { public function __get($constant_name) { return (defined($constant_name) ? constant($constant_name) : NULL); } } $C = new GetConstant(); define('FOO','bar'); echo("I want a candy {$C->FOO}."); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.153.143.103 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60971 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60971&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60971&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
