hi guys,

I was mucking around and noticed the following:

define("404_SKIP", 1);

does not give an error and you can successfully get the value of the constant by doing:

constant("404_SKIP");

where as doing:

echo 404_SKIP;

gives an error.
as I understand it, i.e. what the docs say, is that the following regexp expresses valid starting chars for the name of a constant (the same going for vars):


/^[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff]/

so pretty minor thing here but I expected to see the define() throw a (fatal?) error, rather than letting me go on.

kind regards,
Jochem
