In the snippet below, the array entry "ABC"=>1 is simply ignored. An array
OUTSIDE of a class definition is fine!

<?
    define( "ABC", 8 );
 
    class test {
        var $t = array( ABC => 1, 2 => 3 );
    }
 
    $u = New test();
 
    var_dump( $u );
?>

Not a bug. Class variable initializers must be static; do this
in the constructor instead.

Check out the text in the manual right after the first example
on the Classes page:

Hope this helps,

Actually, it is a bug. It doesn't give any error, produces
undesired behaviour and leaks memory. This should be fixed
either way - or give warning/error, or work - and in either
case not to leak.

OK, I've fixed in CVS so that it doesn't do any stupid
things, but define() still won't work. What would happen is
exactly as if there was no define() - i.e., you get array
with key "ABC". That's the best that can be done now.
