Note Submitter: awbacker at gmail dot com ---- "Lest anyone think this is somehow an omission in PHP, there is simply no point to having a protected or private constant. Access specifiers identify who has the right to *change* members, not who has the right to read them" I do see this as an omission. They are not only access modifiers, but they limit visibility as well. As it is, I can not make a constant that is private to my class, which I see as a problem. I would settle for multiple modifiers like private const $var = 'me'; but that is not allowed either.
