Description:
------------
Since PHP 5.6, constants may be arrays (class or global constants). However, isset() recognize them as 'expressions' and produces a fatal error. 

       if (isset(aClass::X[$a]))
       if (isset(X[$a]))

On the other hand, PHP accepts :
       if (isset(aClass::$X[$a])) 


The behavior is in PHP 5.6 till PHP 7.0RC2 (and I tried PHP 7.1.0-dev this afternoon).


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

class W {
    const X = [1 => 2, 3 => 4];
    
    public function f() {
       $a = 5; 
       if (isset(static::X[$a])) {
            print "$a exists\n";
       } else {
            print "$a doesn't exists\n";
       }
    }
}

$x = new X;
$x->f();


Expected result:
----------------
       if (isset(aClass::X[$a]))
       if (isset(X[$a]))

works just like 

       if (isset(aClass::$X[$a])) 


Actual result:
--------------
The error : 
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use isset() on the result of an expression (you can use "null !== expression" instead) in /Users/famille/Desktop/analyze/test.php on line 9

Fatal error: Cannot use isset() on the result of an expression (you can use "null !== expression" instead) in /Users/famille/Desktop/analyze/test.php on line 9

hello,I just test your code for 7.0RC1 and 7.0RC2, and I find that 
    if(isset(aClass::X[$a]))
    if(isset(X[$a]))
are both OK and output "5 doesn't exists"

but for 
    if(isset(aClass::$X[$a]))
it reports an error
    "Fatal error: Uncaught EngineException: Access to undeclared static property: W::$X"

OK, I made it to work on Debian with 7.1.0-dev. 

Recompiled on osx too, but still doesn't work.

did I misunderstand something here? https://3v4l.org/upQIg

it seems works fine with php7

Works on ubuntu but does not work on OsX. It may be due to the bison version.

Works for me on OS X with PHP 7...

Just on PHP 5.6, isset() did not support constant arrays at all. I just had forgotten to take care of that special case back then.

isset(aClass::X) still does not work with PHP 7, but aClass::X[$a] (or static::X[$a]) definitely should work there.

I tried with bison 2.7 and 3.0.4, with the same result. 

I use this compilation sequence : 
make clean

./buildconf --force
env YACC=`brew --prefix bison27`/bin/bison 
./configure \
    --prefix="/usr/local/opt/phpng" \
    --with-config-file-path="/usr/local/etc/phpng" \
    --with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/phpng/conf.d
    --enable-mbstring \
    --enable-tokenizer \
    --disable-all
make -j`sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu_max`

on #master from php-src. 

It is working fine on Debian.

I confirm the situation from bwoebi : 

aClass::X[$a] (or static::X[$a]) work fine.

isset(aClass::X) still does not work.

I'll keep testing until the 2nd instruction is ok. The rest is good to for, AFAIK
