PHP Constant

Constants are either identifiers or simple names that can be assigned any fixed values. They are similar to a variable except that they can never be changed. They remain constant throughout the program and cannot be altered during execution. Once a constant is defined, it cannot be undefined or redefined. Constant identifiers should be written in upper case following the convention. By default, a constant is always case-sensitive, unless mentioned. A constant name must never start with a number. It always starts with a letter or underscores, followed by letter, numbers or underscore. It should not contain any special characters except underscore, as mentioned.

<?php
define("constant", "Welcome to W3Schools.com!");
echo constant;
?>
