const arrays

[napo_p2p]

We can do things like:

PHP Code:

const VAR = 1; 


However, this does not work:

PHP Code:

const ARR = {1, 2, 3}; 


It would be nice if it did .

Might be able to do

PHP Code:

const var1 = 1;
const var2 = 2;
const var3 = 3;
array = {var1, var2, var3};

Nice idea . It's good for small arrays, but for bigger arrays it is a bit impractical.

I approve.

Maybe constant arrays can be added at the same time as protected variables .

To be efficient the const arrays would need to be like normal variables, similar like they are in most languages (only the compiler complains when you access a variable marked as const). It is not planned yet to add that, it's different to the normal const and enums.
