Const With Array
++++++++++++++++

  The const keyword supports array. This feature was added in PHP 5.6. 

The array must be filled with other constants. It may also be build using the '+' operator.

.. code-block:: php
   
   <?php
   
   const PRIMES = [2, 3, 5, 7];
   
   class X {
       const TWENTY_THREE = 23;
       const MORE_PRIMES = PRIMES + [11, 13, 17, 19];
       const EVEN_MORE_PRIMES = self::MORE_PRIMES + [self::TWENTY_THREE];
   }
   
   ?>
