Hi folks, Currently, it's not possible to use the ::class special constant with the constant() function. This doesn't work:
var_dump( constant('\DateTime::class') ); For instance, Twig's constant() helper internally uses this PHP function, consequently the following Twig template doesn't work: `myObject` contains a random object, retrieve its class: {{ constant('class', myObject) }} I wrote a patch adding support for ::class: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/6763 As this probably qualifies as a new feature, should I write an RFC too? Cheers,
