note 63829 added to language.oop5.constants

"Lest anyone think this is somehow an omission in PHP, there is simply no point to having a protected or private constant. Access specifiers identify who has the right to *change* members, not who has the right to read them" I do see this as an omission. They are not only access modifiers, but they limit visibility as well. As it is, I can not make a constant that is private to my class, which I see as a problem. I would settle for multiple modifiers like private const $var = 'me'; but that is not allowed either. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.5.106.148 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63829 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63829 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63829 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
