CONSTANTINE

The (hopefully) most comprehensive collection of constants for PHP

Why should I use it?

Using magic numbers no one remembers the meaning of?
Code smell
Repeating yourself by using the same values over and over again?
Code smell
Having a typo in one of the repeated values?
Dangerous --> Bugs
Having to look up stuff?
Time-consuming
Updating values that changed all over the code base?
Time-consuming
Bloating your classes with constants and maintaining them?
Time-consuming
