Variables & Constants

Variable scope and constant lookup.

Variables & Constants errors arise when variable scope and constant lookup affect an executing PHP application or its supporting service. Use the exact signature and runtime context to narrow the cause before changing configuration.

The guides in this category separate code defects from environment differences, show focused diagnostics, and favor site-scoped corrections that preserve unrelated applications.
