note 87127 deleted from language.constants by danbrown

Note Submitter: Francois Hill ---- As a follow-up to Sinured's 19-Jul-2007 09:27 note : I have also noticed PHP (my version i.e. 5.2.0) allows more characters than specified in constant's names. The slash character ("/") seems to be allowed, notably. I have used that "feature" to produce uniquely named constants in my different files : <? php //This line is copied-pasted in all files, needs not be adpated define('PATH_FILE_THIS'.__FILE__ ,realpath(dirname(__FILE__))); //Use constant : include constant('FPL__PATH_FILE_THIS'.__FILE__).'../etc.'; ?> Had "/" not been a admissible character in a constant's name, hash functions would probably have to have been considered.
