Code in ZendEngine2/zend_builtin_functions.c revision
1.277.2.12.2.25.2.52 checks if the class exists and creates the global
constant with the name A::B if it does. But this constant is unreachable
other than by get_defined_constants() because both constant(A::B) and
A::B works with class constants.
?php
class A {}
define(A::B, true);
echo constant(A::B); // Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'B'
echo A::B; // Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'B'
?
I suggest to issue an error if the constant name contains ::
regardless the class exists or not. The code would be even simpler.

Reopened.
Patches for HEAD and 5_2 broke the build and have been reverted.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

now that namespace separator will be \, the fix is simple: grep for
:: and fail if a user tries to do it.

As a note to this while we're at define().
define() also seems to ignore if you declare a class constant like:
define('test::c', 'test');
Both with and without having a class called 'test' passes this, testing
without the class 'test' like:
var_dump(test::c);
Will result in a fatal error: class 'test' not found. Testing it with a
class called 'test' will issue a fatal error: undefined class constant
'c'.
If the class 'test' already have a constant called 'c' define() will
still ignore it and var_dump() will return the real value of test::c.

Description:
PHP (5.2.5) allows you to define '::' as a constant without issuing an
E_WARNING, below examples will demonstrate it.
The constant() function will issue an fatal error when recieving '::'
as constant name:
Fatal error: Class '' not found in C:\webserver\www\gd\gd.php on line
91
Which might also be wrong or confusing to the programmer
Reproduce code:
---
?php
define('::', true);
var_dump(constant('::'));
?
Expected result:
A fatal error for each of the calls:
Fatal error: Invalid constant name in test.php on line 2
Fatal error: Invalid constant name in test.php on line 3
Actual result:
--
Fatal error: Class '' not found in C:\webserver\www\gd\gd.php on line
91
None warning or fatal error for define()...
