Description:
------------
Constants defined inside classes can be defined as an array prepopulated with key, value pairs; however this data is not directly accessible.
It is possible to create a local variable copy of the constant at runtime and use it to access the data.
If class constants are not meant to be able to hold array data, then a parse error should of been thrown on the 'const' declaration.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class test {
const someData = array('foo' => 'bar');
function __construct() {
$dataCopy = someData;
print($dataCopy['foo']); // This works
print(var_dump(someData)); // This works (shows all array information)
print(someData['foo']); // This throws a parse error
}
}
$obj = new test();
Expected result:
----------------
bar
bar
bar
.. Jackpot! :)
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '['

This is an easier verification: php -r 'class t{const c=array(1=>"Hello\n");} echo t::c[1];'This isn't restricted to associative arrays in which keys are explicitly specified: class f { const t = array(7,6,5); } echo f::t[1];
