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".
