PHP4: Constant inside a class

This gives me PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '(' in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\toolmon\_debug_tmp.php on line 15 having a code

Code:

---

class test {
  var $SOME_CONST = 10;
}

echo test::$SOME_CONST;

---

:( Can't I create a constant variable inside a class?

Thanks.

I don't think so, only instance variables. Constants are static.

I suggest you do what most other packages do:

PHP Code:

---

define('CLASSNAME_CONST_NAME', 1);

Its not a class constant but it signifies its relation to the class. I also suggest you upgrade to PHP 5 ;)

Hehe. Will do upgrade soon. Thanks.
