Bug description: function to get constant values by variable name
I believe PHP lacks a function to get constant values by
name where the constant's name is stored in a string variable.
What I mean is something like
function get_constant($const_name)
{
eval ("\$myvar = " . $const_name . ";");
return $myvar;
}
but I really think that using eval() here is a waste.
Am I missing something?
