note 77851 added to function.define

just a note to the previous post by e s lin d sey at g mail dot co m: Well as u said, it is not the best workaround. To resolve this "Problem" without getting incredible loss of performance, you are able to make the use of "variable functions" like "variable variables": <?php $def = 'constant'; $string = <<<END This is PHP running on<br /> {$def('PHP_OS')} END; var_dump($string); ?> In this example we make use of the "constant" function which is builtin, and it will output: string(37) " This is PHP running on WINNT" Tested on PHP 5...
