This is not correct. c-constants defined in pseudomains and d-constants are available everywhere, their scope is not limited to a single function or a single pseudomain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67770&edit=1
