The first shall be the last

Consider the following program:

<?php

class A {
        const A = X::X;
}

class X {
        const X = 3;
}

echo A::A;

?>

What will it display in your browser window?

A: 3
B: X
C: Notice: Use of undefined constant X - assumed 'X' in ... on line 4
D: A parse error

Answer

There is nothing wrong with this script. What you see here is a compile time depenency and the order in which the classes were defined doesn't matter: it will be resolved by PHP. Acutally you can cut line 11 and paste it on line 2 and it will work the same. So answer A is correct.
