I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it seems you can't use class constants to set default values for class properties. You can, however, use them for default values for method params, e.g.:

class foo {}
  const BAR = 100;
  private $thing = self::BAR;
  function wibble($a = self::BAR) {
    echo $a;
  }
}

In this case $this->thing will be undefined, but wibble() will get the correct default value for $a.

Comments?
