From: Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 9.04 PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: Reflection related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:unexpected return value getConstant
Description: ------------ to make it short: if you try to get the value of a constant via ReflectionClass::getConstant(...) and the constant name you specified does not exist, the function returns bool(false). but maybe you have really defined a constant as bool(false). then you are not able to distinguish between these two possibilities. in that case the preferred behavior should be to throw and exception or return the null value. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53202&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53202&r=mysqlcfg
