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

The const keyword and the define() function work completely different. The 
const keyword is handled at compile time whereas define(), for the engine, is a 
regular function. Different tokens therefore are identifed as different code is 
generated internally, too.

Test script should be

<?php
const BAR = FALSE;

Description:
------------
As of PHP 5.3.0 global constants can be declared using the const keyword in 
addition to the define() function. However token_get_all() incorrectly 
recognizes 
the former as a class constant.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
define('BAR', FALSE);

Expected result:
----------------
T_OPEN_TAG
T_STRING
T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING
T_WHITESPACE
T_STRING


Actual result:
--------------
T_OPEN_TAG
T_CONST
T_WHITESPACE
T_STRING
T_WHITESPACE
T_WHITESPACE
T_STRING
