To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. Simplify the report. :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-24 13:05:49] cnick at titancrest dot com Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.oop5.constants --- //Simulate Struct class VolumeWeight { const GRAMS = 'gm'; const MILILITRE = 'ml'; } - or - class VolumeWeight { public static $GRAMS = 'gm'; public static $MILILITRE = 'ml'; } Then have another (extended) struct class WaterBottle { public static $ITEM_ID = 1324; public static $ITEM_COST = 0.23; public static $UNIT = VolumeWeight::$MILILITRE; //Yields an error } - BUT - class WaterBottle { public static $ITEM_ID = 1324; public static $ITEM_COST = 0.23; public static $UNIT = VolumeWeight::MILILITRE; //Works (from constant class) } - AND - class WaterBottle { const ITEM_ID = 1324; const ITEM_COST = 0.23; const UNIT = VolumeWeight::MILILITRE; //Error (from constant class) } How weird is that? Anything I can do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54366&edit=1
