Description:
------------
You can't define a constant using define(), and automatically assign a value to it, that is of a function.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
 define("E_SQL", mysql_error(), true);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
E_SQL should now contain the last error-string. (Of course only if there was an error).

Actual result:
--------------
It's empty

Actually you can.

What you can't do is define() (read redefine) a constant more than once.  That's why it's called a constant.
