Just an idea. You could also change the test function you use in the { if } tags to detect that it got the constant as a string. class Example { /** * Example function * * @access public *
   * @param    integer|string
* * @return boolean */ function hasPerm($perm) {
       if (is_string($perm)) {
           $perm = constant($perm);
       }
       if (is_integer($perm)) {
           if (($this->getUserPermissies() & $perm) == $perm) {
                   return TRUE;
           }
       }
       return FALSE;
} } Greetings, Jan Rosier * Space and time are relative. - Albert Einstein * Oliver Jones wrote:

It looks like there is an issue but I believe that Smarty should output quoted text rather than a constant token, not? Especially since constants are accessed from the $smarty reserved variable, ie: $smarty.const.CONSTANT.
Erk. No. That would be annoying. Sure I can understand using $smarty.const.CONSTANT etc when using the {$var} syntax as without a prefix there would be no way of differentiating between function calls and constants but that is just plain annoying (and unnecessary) in {if } tags. Though understandable if you wanted a consistent API. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the whole $smarty.{section,const,capture} business. Regads --
