where to define constants in cakephp

Question

In which file should I define application-wide constants that are specific to my cakephp app?

Answer 1

I define them in app/config/bootstrap.php

Bootstrapping CakePHP

If you have any additional configuration needs, use CakePHP’s bootstrap file, found in app/Config/bootstrap.php. This file is executed just after CakePHP’s core bootstrapping.

This file is ideal for a number of common bootstrapping tasks:

1. Defining convenience functions.
2. Registering global constants.
3. Defining additional model, view, and controller paths.
4. Creating cache configurations.
5. Configuring inflections.
6. Loading configuration files.
