note 110530 added to function.defined

This function, along with constant(), is namespace sensitive. And it might help if you imagine them always running under the "root namespace": <?php namespace FOO\BAR { const WMP="wmp"; function test() { if(defined("WMP")) echo "direct: ".constant("WMP"); //doesn't work; elseif(defined("FOO\\BAR\\WMP")) echo "namespace: ".constant("FOO\\BAR\\WMP"); //works echo WMP; //works } } namespace { \FOO\BAR\test(); } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 203.98.176.247 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.defined.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110530 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110530 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110530 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
