1.2.331. Define Constants With Array¶
PHP has the ability to define an array as a constant, using the define() native call. This was not possible until that version, only with the const keyword.
This was introduced in PHP 7.0. It also applies to the const keyword and to class constants.
<?php
//Defining an array as a constant
define('MY_PRIMES', [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]);
const MY_OTHER_NUMBERS = [12, 13, 15, 17, 111];
?>
