PHP Constants cause errors

    When using PHP functions that use PHP constants in the function, WP All Import throws an error.

    For example, this error: “Unexpected token TEXT” comes from when using:
    [str_pad({location_zip[1]}, 5, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT)]

    But if I change the constant to the integer value, it works fine. Eg:
    [str_pad({location_zip[1]}, 5, "0", 0)]

    Hey @robertark,

    When using PHP functions that use PHP constants in the function, WP All Import throws an error.

    Unfortunately, that’s normal behavior due to how we parse PHP functions. You’ll have to write a custom function that uses the constant, then call that function instead. For example:

    [my_custom_function({location_zip[1]})]

    Code:

    function my_custom_function( $zip ) {
     return str_pad( $zip, 5, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT );
}
