thanks, but i think constants are not the same as readonly variables!!
a constant - as the name sais - are values that should never be changed. but
in my example 

<?php
��������$doc�=�new�DomDocument();
��������
��������$root�=�new�DomElement("root");
��������$root->tagName�=�"test";�//�this,�of�course,�doesn't�work...
��������
��������print($root->tagName);
��������$root�=�$doc->appendChild($root);
?>

the constructor (/another class-) function of DomElement has to set the
object variable $root->tagName to "root", of course. this is why tagName
isn't defined as constant...
further you CAN read $root->tagName, but not set it - so it is a real
READONLY variable, define in C-Code of Zend Engine...

anyway, thanks a lot...
