# get_defined_constants

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5)

get_defined_constants — Returns an associative array with the names of all the constants and their values

### Description

array get_defined_constants ([ mixed `$categorize` ] )

Returns the names and values of all the constants currently defined. This includes those created by extensions as well as those created with the define() function.

### Parameters

`categorize`

  May be passed, causing this function to return a multi-dimensional array with categories in the keys of the first dimension and constants and their values in the second dimension.

  `<?php
  define("MY_CONSTANT", 1);
  print_r(get_defined_constants(true));
  ?>`

  The above example will output something similar to:

      Array
      (
          [internal] => Array
              (
                  [E_ERROR] => 1
                  [E_WARNING] => 2
                  [E_PARSE] => 4
                  [E_NOTICE] => 8
                  [E_CORE_ERROR] => 16

                  [E_ALL] => 2047
                  [TRUE] => 1
              )

          [pcre] => Array
              (
                  [PREG_PATTERN_ORDER] => 1
                  [PREG_SET_ORDER] => 2
                  [PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE] => 256
                  [PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY] => 1
                  [PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE] => 2
                  [PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE] => 4
                  [PREG_GREP_INVERT] => 1
              )

          [user] => Array
              (
                  [MY_CONSTANT] => 1
              )

      )
