Do this override is a common behave, like in Java language. This is a very important feature to construct good class hierarchies. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Father{ const NAME = "John"; public static function foo(){ echo self::NAME; } } class Son extends Father{ const NAME = "John Junior"; } Son::foo(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Output of "John Junior" Actual result: -------------- Output of "John" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37052&edit=1
