#42816 [NEW]: [PATCH] Add support for core and magic constants to error.php

From: aharvey@php.net Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: [PATCH] Add support for core and magic constants to error.php Description: ------------ The (extremely useful) php.net/$keyword redirect currently doesn't support the array of pre-defined constants available within PHP. This is an extra problem because the manual search typically doesn't return relevant results for many of them: as an example, try <http://php.net/PHP_EOL> -- the right place to go would be <http://php.net/reserved.constants>, but that's not in the list. I've concocted a patch for error.php to add support for the "core predefined constants" and the magic constants (including __NAMESPACE__, since it looks like we'll be getting that one soon enough), and it's at <http://www.adamharvey.name/stuff/error-constants.diff>. Hard-coding the constants into the manual page moves array probably isn't the best approach, but there's going to need to be an evil-looking list somewhere, I guess. This patch doesn't address the longer list of "standard predefined constants", but it's a start. If the approach is acceptable (or a better one is recommended), I'll look at cooking up a patch for those as well. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42816&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42816&r=mysqlcfg
