note 51723 added to function.define

Just to clarify what 'david at nospam webgroup dot org' said: ${} is actually the syntax for 'variable variables'. So in this specific case: Starting with the line: ${MY_CONST} = serialize(array('foo' => 'bar')); PHP will expand the constant and use it as the name of the variable: $test = serialize(array('foo' => 'bar')); So in fact there is no assignment to a constant (which would defy the definition of 'constant') but instead an assignment to a variable named by the _value_ of the constant. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51723 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51723&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51723&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51723&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51723&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51723&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51723&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
