in 5_3 there seems to be an issue ( maybe a change) that allows "const" outside classes, const outside class seems to be wrong though.

in 5_2 it causes a "syntax error, unexpected T_CONST in.."

Dmitry, I think this is caused by the namespace patches.

The bug has been fixed in CVS.

The "const" statement is still allowed outside of namespaces but arrays are disabled.
