title: Getting an error using constants
body: <p>I have a lot of pages, all of which <code>require</code> the file <code>characters.php</code>. This file contains constants which define many things in my website. They are defined like this, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const $humanHEALTH = 1.1;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything works properly running it in my localhost using WAMP, but when I upload it to an online host I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I used <code>phpinfo()</code> on one of the pages and the PHP version is 5.2.17.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
