note 112286 added to language.oop5.constants

Class constants are allocated per instance of the class. If you create a class with 100 constants, each with 100 bytes, and 100 instances of that class, you will use 1 million bytes. Obviously that is a fringe case but remember that when you are creating constants that you might not need in every instance. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 69.142.102.88 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112286 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112286 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112286 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
