Create constants with bitwise operators

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I want to create a constant in my component class file with bitwise operator.

For example


class MyClass{


   const MYCONST = 1<<3;

   --

   --

}

But it gives error saying Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’.

How can i define constants with bitwise operators?

I think this is possible from PHP 5.6

Yep, you can only assign literals to constants. It’s quite an annoying restriction and I’m glad they’ve finally fixed it.
