get_defined_constants — Returns an associative array with the names of all the constants and their values
Returns the names and values of all currently defined constants. This includes constants defined by extensions and those created using the define() function. However, it excludes magic constants, which resolve at compile time.
categorizeCausing 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));
?>Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
Array
(
[Core] => Array
(
[E_ERROR] => 1
[E_WARNING] => 2
[E_PARSE] => 4
[E_NOTICE] => 8
[E_CORE_ERROR] => 16
[E_CORE_WARNING] => 32
[E_COMPILE_ERROR] => 64
[E_COMPILE_WARNING] => 128
[E_USER_ERROR] => 256
[E_USER_WARNING] => 512

Returns an array of constant name => constant value array, optionally grouped by extension name registering the constant.

Add this method to your class definition if you want an array of class constants (get_defined_constants doesn't work with class constants as Peter P said above):
<?php
public function get_class_constants()
{
$reflect = new ReflectionClass(get_class($this));
return $reflect->getConstants());
}
?>
You could also override stdObject with it so that all your classes have this methodIf you want to access directly on one category, just use:
<?php
print_r(get_defined_constants(true)['Core']);
?>
you can replace 'Core' by the category you wish (e.g. user):
<?php
print_r(get_defined_constants(true)['user']);
?>
Warning: only use this on development sideIf you want to filter through and return only the prefix for your constants (i.e. you have constants with a naming scheme), then you can use this quick little function. It comes in handy for debugging.
<?php
function returnConstants ($prefix) {
foreach (get_defined_constants() as $key=>$value)
if (substr($key,0,strlen($prefix))==$prefix) $dump[$key] = $value;
if(empty($dump)) { return "Error: No Constants found with prefix '".$prefix."'"; }
else { return $dump; }
}
?>
Example:
<?php
define("SITENAME_OPTION_ONE",true);
define("SITENAME_OPTION_TWO",false);
define("SITENAME_URL","foo");
print_r(returnConstants("SITENAME_OPTION"));
?>
Will return:
Array
(
[SITENAME_OPTIONONE] => 1
[SITENAME_OPTIONTWO] =>
)<?php
/**
* Convert constant value into string name.
*
* @param mixed Constant value.
* @return string Constant name.
* @access public
*/
function sch_get_consant($value)
{
$constants = get_defined_constants();
$name = array_search($value, $constants, TRUE);
return $name;
}
?>
