Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-03 21:11:32] ksin...@php.net I think this behavior is by design. const expressions are evaluated at compile time. So only few operations are supported in a const expression and string concatenation is not one of those. I could repro this in PHP 5.2 (after putting it under a class). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-03 20:16:44] jachym dot tousek at gmail dot com Description: ------------ const is not working Reproduce code: --------------- <?php const ROOT_DIR = __DIR__ .
