# apc_load_constants

(PECL apc:3.0.0-3.0.9)

apc_load_constants — Loads a set of constants from the cache

### Description

bool apc_load_constants ( string `$key` [, bool `$case_sensitive` ] )

### Parameters

`key`

  The name of the constant set (that was stored with apc_define_constants()) to be retrieved.

`case_sensitive`

  The default behaviour for constants is to be declared case-sensitive; i.e. CONSTANT and Constant represent different values. If this parameter evaluates to `FALSE` the constants will be declared as case-insensitive symbols.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Examples

Example#1 apc_load_constants() example

`<?php
$constants = array(
'ONE' => 1,
'TWO' => 2,
'THREE' => 3,
);
apc_define_constants('numbers', $constants);
apc_load_constants('numbers');
echo ONE, TWO, THREE;
?>`

The above example will output:

    123
