Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Accessing child constants from base class
From: abies@php.net (Ard Biesheuvel)

This works fine for me:

abstract class Base {

         abstract function getElementName();

         function getName()
         {
                 return $this->getElementName();
         }
}

class Derived extends Base {

         const ElementName = 'DerivedElementName';

         function getElementName()
         {
                 return ElementName;
         }
}

$c = new Derived();
echo $c->getName();
