Hi,

I think that behavior of the following scripts is a bug.


$ php -r "define('TRUE', false); var_dump(TRUE);" 
bool(false) 


To others FALSE/NULL is behaved similarly.
I want you to carry out a re-definition by the ability
not doing like the usual constant.

I checked folloing version.

PHP 5.0.0RC1-dev (cli) (built: Feb 5 2004 15:18:40) 
PHP 4.3.4 (cli) (built: Feb 3 2004 10:01:36)

Shortly: Don't do that. :)
Changing this would slow things down too much.
But if you want a) faster scripts b) be sure true/false are true/false always, use the lowercase true/false constants.
Only TRUE / FALSE can be redefined, true / false not.
