Constants are like variables except that once they are defined they cannot be changed or undefined.
PHP Constants
A constant is an identifier (name) for a simple value. The value cannot be changed during the script.
A valid constant name starts with a letter or underscore (no $ sign before the constant name).
Note: Unlike variables, constants are automatically global across the entire script.
Create a PHP Constant
To create a constant, use the define() function.
Syntax
define(name, value, case-insensitive)
Parameters:
name: Specifies the name of the constant
value: Specifies the value of the constant
case-insensitive: Specifies whether the constant name should be case-insensitive. Default is false
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
// case-sensitive constant name
define("GREETING", "Welcome to tachnosparkhub!");
echo GREETING;
?>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Welcome to tachnosparkhub!
