Description:
------------
Fatal error: undefined class constant doesn't show up via AJAX, neither in the 
error log, so it crashes without any warning making the debugging really 
complicated. Actually the file doesn't load at all, tried with string out of the 
<?php ?> tags.

Test script:
---------------
asdfasdf
<?php

class random
{
   const test = 1;

   echo $this::tes;
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
asdfasdf
Undefined class constant 'tes' in ...

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

You have a syntax error, you can not do an echo directly into the class body.

I'm sorry, I was a bit tired, so... the problem occurred to me when I was in a 
public function, and it never created a log entry. It gave me a fatal error 
without using the function with the undefined constant, the test script was bad, 
sorry.

I mean it gave me a fatal error without actually informing me about it.
