Const or constant is data or a value that does not change in a specified amount of time, unlike a variable. For example, in a PHP script, when a constant is defined, it remains the same throughout the script. Below is an example of how you’d define and use a constant.

define (‘EXAMPLE’, ‘There is hope!\n’);echo ‘Is there hope? ‘, EXAMPLE;

Entering the code above would return “Is there hope? There is hope!” in a PHP page.
