Subject: Constant arrays
From: paullik.paul@gmail.com ("Barbu Paul Gh.")

Hello!

I wonder why I cannot assign arrays to constants.
According to the PHP manual:
"only scalar and null values are allowed. Scalar values are integer, float, 
string or boolean values."

What is the mechanism behind this?
What's the explanation?
