PHP Class Constants - Public, Private or Protected?

Question

Am I correct in assuming that const properties are automatically public? Is there a way to make them private or protected?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As of php7.1, you can define your class constants with access modifiers (public, private or protected). Have a look at the following example:

';
        echo self::anthony_stark, '
';
    }
}
echo superheroes::kal_el, '
';
superheroes::show_remaining();
