From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Logical Flaw
Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.define#Examples --- <?php define("CONSTANT", "Hello world.",false); echo CONSTANT; // outputs "Hello world." echo Constant; // outputs "Constant" and issues a notice. define("GREETING", "Hello you.", true); echo GREETING; // outputs "Hello you." echo Greeting; // outputs "Hello you." ?> If the case_sensitive is true, why GREETING and Greeting output the same value (Hello you)? Then I put ,false just after "Hello world.", why CONSTANT and Constant output the different values? Plus the echo Constant; does not issue a notice. Test script: --------------- <?php define("CONSTANT", "Hello world.",false); echo CONSTANT; // outputs "Hello world." echo Constant; // outputs "Constant" and issues a notice. define("GREETING", "Hello you.", true); echo GREETING; // outputs "Hello you." echo Greeting; // outputs "Hello you." ?> If the case_sensitive is true, why GREETING and Greeting output the same value (Hello you)? Then I put ,false just after "Hello world.", why CONSTANT and Constant output the different values? Plus the echo Constant; does not issue a notice. Expected result: ---------------- <?php define("CONSTANT", "Hello world.",false); echo CONSTANT; // outputs "Hello world." echo Constant; // outputs "Hello world." define("GREETING", "Hello you.", true); echo GREETING; // outputs "Hello you." echo Greeting; // outputs Greeting ?> Actual result: -------------- <?php define("CONSTANT", "Hello world.",false); echo CONSTANT; // outputs "Hello world." echo Constant; // outputs "Constant" and NEVER issues a notice. define("GREETING", "Hello you.", true); echo GREETING; // outputs "Hello you." echo Greeting; // outputs "Hello you." ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54313&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54313&r=mysqlcfg
