Where to put global constants?

What's the (best) place to put php constants used in all a project?

I'd go with the .env file unless of course there are a shit load of them.

Thanks for your answer @tray2

I would not like to modify my .env file, anyway to put it in a php file and have this file 'automatically' included for all scripts?

If you need to change these constants between different deployments then use .env

Otherwise put them in a config file. All you need to do is create a php file in the config folder and in that file return an array.

You can then use these anywhere in your code with the config helper

Thanks @snapey I didn't know that I can add a config file so easily.
