1.2.613. Is Global Constant

Mark a constant that may fallback to a global const definition, even though it is in a namespace.

This analysis skips PHP and ext’s functions, namespaced constants.

<?php

namespace X {

    const PHP_VERSION = 1;

    // Local constant
    echo PHP_VERSION;

    // This constant fallsback to \E_ALL, unless DNS_NS is defined in this namespace
    echo E_ALL;

    // This constant is always \DNS_NS
    echo \DNS_NS;

    // This is a Notice
    echo UNDEFINED_CONSTANT;
}

?>
