It's a "constant initializer" - which is both an accurate and
misleading title at the same time :) It will initialise a variable to
be constant through-out your entire class (meaning any method can
access it) but unlike true PHP constants (those created with define)
the value of the variable can be manipulated from just about anywhere.
It is of course PHP4 only and is depreciated in PHP5.
Best regards,
Richard Davey
