Const¶
const is a PHP keyword, that introduces constant definitions.
const is allowed inside classes, interfaces, enumerations and traits, to create static constants. const is also allowed in the global scope, to create global constants.
const is only allowed in the body of a classes, interfaces, enumerations and traits, and the first level of a main file. It is not possible to create conditioned constants with a if-then structure and const : this requires an include.
<?php if ($a == 5): ?>
A is equal to 5
<?php endif; ?>
