note 114403 added to language.constants.predefined

A lot of notes here concern defining the __DIR__ magic constant for PHP versions not supporting the feature. Of course you can define this magic constant for PHP versions not yet having this constant, but it will defeat its purpose as soon as you are using the constant in an included file, which may be in a different directory then the file defining the __DIR__ constant. As such, the constant has lost its *magic*, and would be rather useless unless you assure yourself to have all of your includes in the same directory. Concluding: eye catchup at gmail dot com's note regarding whether you can or cannot define magic constants is valid, but stating that defining __DIR__ is not useless, is not! ---- Server IP: 194.50.97.14 Probable Submitter: 82.170.41.248 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114403 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114403 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114403 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
