Summary: [php5] Cannot rename enum within a class properly

Initial Comment:
I've been working with SWIG for Python, Perl and PHP5 and have found the following to be a problem on PHP5 only.  Using SWIG 1.3.36.

We happen to use an enum with a member TRY.  This is a reserved work in PHP so I tried to rename it with %rename:

== example.h ==

class Foo
{
  public:
    enum bar
    {
      BAZ,
      TRY
    };
};

== example.i ==

%module example

%{
#include "example.h"
%}

%rename(c_TRY) TRY;

%include "example.h"


example.php contains:

class Foo {
  const BAZ = 0;
  const TRY = Foo_c_TRY;
}

This won't run in PHP as TRY is a reserved word.  I would have expected:

class Foo {
  const BAZ = 0;
  const c_TRY = 1;
}

or something similar.

Thanks

Message:
You'll get Foo_c_TRY not 1 currently, just because that's how implicitly
numbered enums are handled.

But it looks like we're grabbing the PHP enum name from the wrong place. 
I'll take a look when I get a chance.
