So we can define array constants in PHP5.6. However, I got the following error when defining an array constant inside a class

Arrays are not allowed in class constants

So is it true that array constants are allowed but not inside classes?

Answer

As of PHP 5.6 arrays are allowed in class constants.

See the link for a working php code.

<?php

class Foo 
{
    const BAR = [1,2,3];
}

print_r(Foo::BAR);
