Answer 1

To define a constant you have to use define() function and to retrieve the value of a constant, you have to simply specifying its name. Unlike with variables, you do not need to have a constant with a $. You can also use the function constant() to read a constant's value if you wish to obtain the constant's name dynamically.

Following program can be used for reading the contents of a file in php.
<?php

$fileName = 'instructions.txt';
//fopen() function is used to open a file in php

$file = fopen(“instructions.txt”,”r”) or exit(“Unable to open the file!”) ;

While(!feof($file)) // feof()checks the end of file in php

{
echo fgets($file); // fgets() read a fileline by line in php
}
fclose($file); // fclose() used to close a file in php
?>
