note 68515 added to function.define

I typically use serialize() to store arrays in constants. 

<?php
	$value = array('Jim','Bob','Rebecca','Cooter');
	define('CONSTANT',serialize($value));
?>

And unserialize as needed.

<?php
	$name = 'Bob';

	if(in_array($name,unserialize(CONSTANT)))
	{
		# Do something
	}
?>

Didn't see this mentioned here - simple approach, allows
for constant arrays without a ton of overhead.
