Chris,

A work around I've used in the past has been to use a keyed array such as:

$MyEnums = array(
        "is" => "This",
        "at" => "That",
        "er" => "Other"
);

Then you can refer to them like:

echo($MyEnums["is"]);   // Prints "This"

Just an idea.

We could learn a lot from crayons: 
some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, 
and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same 
box.
