note 66870 added to language.oop5.constants

In addition to what "tobias_demuth at web dot de" wrote: Assigning the return value of a function to a constant does not work. Thus you may assign the return value of a function to a global constant defintion using "define()" and assign this global constant to the class constant. The following example works as expected. <?php define("MYTIME", time()); class test { const time = MYTIME; } print test::time; ?> Will output the current timestamp. Whatsoever: IMHO this is "bad style" and so I suggest NOT to use this as "workaround". ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 213.238.41.61 (proxied: 192.168.168.42) ---- 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/66870 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66870 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66870 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
