PHP Constants Containing Arrays?
Since PHP 5.6, you can declare an array constant with const: <?php const DEFAULT_ROLES = array(‘guy’, ‘development team’); The short syntax works too, as you’d expect: <?php const DEFAULT_ROLES = [‘guy’, ‘development team’]; If you have PHP 7, you can finally use define(), just as you had first tried: <?php define(‘DEFAULT_ROLES’, array(‘guy’, ‘development team’));
