Trying to use the code below, which was originally provided in this question: PHP and Enumerations, but running into a problem.

abstract class DaysOfWeek
{
const Sunday = 0;
const Monday = 1;
// etc.
}

$today = DaysOfWeek::Sunday;

How do I call that method (or whatever it is) with a variable (instead of Sunday I have a variable $day, which has the value of Sunday). Have tried $today = DaysOfWeek::{$day};, but it produces an error.

Show us the code to demonstrate what you are trying to do, along with your expected result – RiggsFolly Jan 27 '18 at 21:30
In your case, you would need an expression like `constant("DaysOfWeek::$day")` – Michael Berkowski Jan 27 '18 at 21:42
