Constants
Constants are much like variables, except you can't change them. You can declare them at the beginning of a script and use them instead of any fixed number that you can't be sure will never change. PHP sets some constants for you, like TRUE, FALSE and NULL.
To create a constant, you use the define() function. Constants can be named just like variables, and they can store anything a variable can except an array.
A lot of mathematical constants are also preset for you when PHP starts up, namely M_PI for pi. Read the "Mathematical functions" section of the PHP manual for the complete list.
