Using constants

To use the constant simply use its name:

if (EARTH_IS_FLAT) {
    print "Earth is flat";
}

print APP_ENV_UPPERCASE;

or if you don’t know the name of the constant in advance, use the constant function:

// this code is equivalent to the above code
$const1 = "EARTH_IS_FLAT";
$const2 = "APP_ENV_UPPERCASE";

if (constant($const1)) {
    print "Earth is flat";
}

print constant($const2);
