class const versus define

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there any reason why the logic behind define() couldn't be pushed down to class const?

Code like this is kinda fugly:

//It's okay here, but not in a class?
define('CACHE_DIR_LONG',  CONFIG_ROOT_PATH . '/cache/');
class Cache {
  const CACHE_DIR = '/dev/shm/cache/';
  const CACHE_TTL = 300; //5 minutes
  const CACHE_DIR_LONG = CACHE_DIR_LONG;

I'd really prefer to write:
class Cache {
  const CACHE_DIR = '/dev/shm/cache/';
  const CACHE_TTL = 300; //5 minutes
  const CACHE_DIR_LONG = CONFIG_ROOT_PATH . '/cache/';

I'm happy to add it as a feature request, but not if somebody reliable says "Don't Bother"...
