Respect case sensitivity
– Define statements are used to create global constants. One can “define(‘MY_CONST’,
5)”, and then use “MY_CONST” all over the application, this property is
used to determine if “my_const” will also be suggested as usage of that
constant.
Show strict options –

an instance. Users can enable/disable this in the
