Concat Constant in php

Question

namespace my;

const DHA=__NAMESPACE__."you are accessing constant";  //generate parse error

const DHA=__NAMESPACE__,"you are accessing constant";  //generate parse error

I tried concating using '.' and ',' but both it gives

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ',' or ';'

EDIT (UPDATE) : This is a bug in PHP 5.5. It has been resolved in 5.6. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/const_scalar_exprs.
