arrays, constants, booleans, arithmetic values

[Jim Carlock]

define('P_START_YES', 1, FALSE);
define('P_START_NO', 0, FALSE);
define('P_END_YES', 2, FALSE);
define('P_END_NO', 0, FALSE);
define('APPEND_NL', 4, FALSE);

$aMenus = array(
array(0, 'http://www.example.com/', 'Example 001', P_START_YES || P_END_YES || APPEND_NL),
array(1, 'http://www.example.net/', 'Example 002', P_START_YES || P_END_YES || APPEND_NL)
);

I tried enclosing those values above (P_START_YES, et al) in parenthesis
but PHP complains that it expects a terminating parenthesis. I think this
may be a problem with the latest version of PHP. Why can't I put those
CONSTANTS in parenthesis and use the OR, or | or || to create values?

I was hoping to combine that into one value, rather than use three
separate fields to hold the values. And it seems strange that I'd need
to do like this...

$iTags = P_START_YES || P_END_YES || APPEND_NL;
// blah... I do not see the means at the moment, it's not in a foreach() loop.

Works here (5.2.6), but the operator should be |, not ||.

I tried |, || and OR. Must be something else. Thanks. I'll dig a little
deeper and see if I can spot it.

What about inside a class...

<?php
define('P_START_YES', 1, FALSE);
define('P_START_NO', 0, FALSE);
define('P_END_YES', 2, FALSE);
define('P_END_NO', 0, FALSE);
define('APPEND_NL', 4, FALSE);

class cMenus {

private $aMenus = array(
array(0, 'http://www.example.com/', 'Example 001', P_START_YES | P_END_YES | APPEND_NL),
array(1, 'http://www.example.net/', 'Example 002', P_START_YES | P_END_YES | APPEND_NL)
);

}
?>

I must be overlooking something big time, if that works.

This is completely different than your first post. Initializing
variables in a class must use constants - no variables or operators are
allowed.

If you need this, put it in the constructor.

Thanks. I kept thinking I left out a parenthesis or quotation mark. That
fixed it. The error message threw me off.

[06-Oct-2008 19:36:30] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '|', expecting ')'

Yeah, I did not realize the class made a difference like that. I thrive
off the procedural speed and the low memory use/requirements.

Thanks, Jerry. Thanks, Micha.
