Constant arrays in PHP 7
In PHP 5.6, we could only initialize the constant arrays using the const keyword. For example,
conststudent_rollnos = [11,12,13,14,15];
In PHP 7, we can initialize constant arrays using the definefunction. For example,
define('subjects', ['Computer', 'operating system', 'networking', 'PHP 7','software engineering']);Here, subjectsis the constant array name and the subjects constant array names are 'Computer', 'operating system', 'networking', 'PHP 7', and 'software engineering'.
Constant array index starts from 0, like any other array. Therefore, the computer elements will be at 0 indexes and the operating system will be at 1 index and, so on.
PHP 7 constant arrays Example
<?php
const student_rollnos = [11,12,13,14,15];
define('subjects', ['Computer', 'operating system', 'networking', 'PHP 7','software engineering']);
print_r(student_rollnos);
print_r(subjects);
?>Output
The output for the above PHP 7 program will be −
Array ( [0] => 11 [1] => 12 [2] => 13 [3] => 14 [4] => 15 ) Array ( [0] => Computer [1] => operating system [2] => networking [3] => PHP 7 [4] => software engineering )
Explanation: In the above example, we used the define() function to declare an array name as subjects and 5 subjects name constants whose values cannot be changed.
