[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7835 Updated: define() doesn't work in a class-variable-predeclaration-function-call From: torben <email protected>
Date: 11/15/00

ID: 7835
Updated by: torben
Reported By: rl <email protected>
Status: Closed
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem

Comments:

Not a bug; check the manual:

  http://www.php.net/manual/language.oop.php

  Note: In PHP 4, only constant initializers for var
  variables are allowed. Use constructors for non-constant
  initializers.

The problem isn't with the defined constants; it's with
the array() being used in the 'var $test = array(...' line.
As noted, do this in the constructor inst
