I've put a sample of how I think this should work below to hopefully give you a better idea of this. Test script: --------------- class Test { readonly $param_ro; public funcion test() { $this->param_ro = 'test-ro'; // Works } } $test = new Test(); echo $test->param_ro; // Works $this->param_ro = 'test'; // Fails ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64204&edit=1
