note 90283 added to language.namespaces.definition

Regarding constants defined with define() inside namespaces... define() will define constants exactly as specified. So, if you want to define a constant in a namespace, you will need to specify the namespace in your call to define(), even if you're calling define() from within a namespace. The following examples will make it clear. The following code will define the constant "MESSAGE" in the global namespace (i.e. "\MESSAGE"). <?php namespace test; define('MESSAGE', 'Hello world!'); ?> The following code will define two constants in the "test" namespace. <?php namespace test; define('test\HELLO', 'Hello world!'); define(__NAMESPACE__ . '\GOODBYE', 'Goodbye cruel world!'); ?> ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 78.144.206.31 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.definition.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90283 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90283 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90283 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
