Dear List,
i was using the get_defined_constants function the first time today and sadly for me i read in the man-pages that it displays all defined constants.
Wouldn't it make sense to implement a function like get_user_defined_constants which would only display those constants define()
ed by the user during the development time? If it's not worth a function maybe an parameter would be nice, like
// return an array of constants defined by the user using define()
;
get_defined_constants(C_USER)
// return an array with all defined constants
get_defined_constants(C_ALL)
This would also apply to the functions get_defined_functions and get_defined_vars. Maybe there is already a way to figure such things out, but i haven't found anything in the man-pages.
I would be glad to know if something alike exists, or if not, why it wouldn't make sense.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
PS: Please CC me, as i'm not on the list
it's a nice idea, and personally, i would prefer a simple boolean parameter
instead of constants where there's only 2 possibilities anyway..

The latter is much more readable, though.

The bool method is used in numerous other places, and consistancy is good.
