#30537 [Opn->Csd]: Predefined Constants Missing Magic constants

Bug Type:         Documentation problem

New Comment:

The file reserved.constants contains only entities and no translatable
text. I believe it's the only reason to not copy this file to other
language versions (to let compiler fall to English).

The issue of translation has not been resolved.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.

"See also: Magic constants." in Core Predefined Constants.

But I think they need to be also linked from the reserved constants
page. Information should be available wherever appropriate, I had hard
time finding those magic constants, if they were linked from that page
things would have been better :)

Some notes:

- These constants are linked to from here:
http://php.net/constants

- reserved.constants should link to language.constants but as of now
reserved.constants contains the following text:
<!--
This file shold only be present in the English doc tree.
If you copy it over to your translation tree you will
be hunted down relentlessly! You have been warned! :)
-->
So perhaps it shouldn't be touched, or, the above note be removed.

- The [predefined/reserved] constants pages should in the very least be
'grouped together' a little better.

Description:
------------
I checked the reserved constants page
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.constants.php

And followed both links,

Core Predefined Constants -- Constants defined in the PHP core, Zend,
and SAPI modules
Standard Predefined Constants -- Constants defined in PHP by default

I didn't find the following constants:

__FILE__
__LINE__
__FUNCTION__
__CLASS__
__METHOD__

Maybe they are somewhere else, but for usability and convenience I
think they should be added to this page, maybe in a seperate category.

P.S: Please reply to my email address directly, as i'm not subscribed
to this list

Regards,
Ammar Ibrahim
