Description: ------------ I have read about nowdoc which sounds exciting and is currently being added in 5.3.0! After quickly searching the bugs reported on php.net I couldn't figure out if nowdoc strings work within class constants or not and what the plan was going forward. I am formally requesting that nowdoc works from within constants defined within classes. This would be *very* handy. An example is shown below. Actually this is just a modified example of what I found online documenting nowdoc at: http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.nowdoc <?php class foo { const kbar = <<<'EOT' bar EOT; } ?> Because nowdocs "can be used in any static data context" according to the documentation I don't see why it couldn't be used from within class constants as shown above (hopefully!). In any case I'm requesting that this feature is implemented. I don't know if this is already what is planned or not but I certainly hope it gets added. Maybe it has already been planned and added for all I know. :) Thank you. :) Chad. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45142&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45142&r=mysqlcfg
