Description:
------------
PHP provides inaccurate NOTICE message regarding constants on class initialization. When you initialize new class, the error message does not point the line in the class which causes said error message, but points to a line where Class is initialized instead.






Test script:
---------------
// Foo.php
<?php
class Foo { 

    const BAR = 1;
    protected $message = BAR; // <- this line is intentionally incorrect

    public function __construct($message) {
        $this->message = $message;
        echo "Initialized with {$this->message}";
    }
}

// test.php
<?php
include 'Foo.php';
$var = new Foo(Foo::BAR);

Expected result:
----------------
Expected result:
Notice: Use of undefined constant BAR - assumed 'BAR' in Foo.php on line 5

Actual result:
--------------
Actual result:
Notice: Use of undefined constant BAR - assumed 'BAR' in test.php on line 3
