note 89513 added to function.define

In PHP 4.4.9, you cannot use certain names for constants. Specifically, reserved words such as 'PRINT', 'IF', etc. Oddly enough, you get different behaviour for some: define('IF', 42); echo "IF: ", IF, "<hr />\n"; yields PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF define('PRINT', 13); echo "PRINT: ", PRINT, "<hr />\n"; yields PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' Not sure if this is still true in PHP 5 or not, but it's worth noting if it is. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 198.199.238.13 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89513 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89513 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89513 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
