Introduce PHP5 compatible class constants

[fbrinker]

I've added class constants to resolve the problem that we have to use a class_exists before using the OPENTBS_PLUGIN constant. New / Additional usage: clsOpenTBS::OPENTBS_PLUGIN. That will trigger the autoloading automatically.

My goal was to keep a maximum of backwards compatibility, since I didn't find any minimum requirements. We could apply a change and use "public const" or even remove the define statements, but I guess that's not that important.

Hello @Skrol29,
do you have any ETA about this merge?

[Skrol29]

As mentioned in the documentation, the workaround to load the OpenTBS plugin using PHP auto-loading is simply :

$TBS = new clsTinyButStrong;
$TBS->Plugin(TBS_INSTALL, 'clsOpenTBS');

Does that solve the targeted problem ?

Okay I see. We could use the string variant, but why shouldn't we use the proper constant for the string 'clsOpenTBS' when it already exists?

And we would be able to use $tbs->LoadTemplate($template, clsOpenTBS::OPENTBS_ALREADY_UTF8) etc. do see where the constants come from :)
