Can you use static constants in PHP?

Question

I expected the following to work but it doesn\'t seem to.

Answer 1

How are you trying to access the constants?

I believe this would work:

echo Patterns::$EMAIL; //shows "/^([a-z0-9\+_\-]+)(\.[a-z0-9\+_\-]+)*@([a-...."

If you just declare it as static.
