Hello everyone, first post here...
I don't know if it's a stupid question... I have searched for it and didn't find any answer...
I want to have a constant defined in my globals file, so I can add a prefix to all the defined classes in my app... I'm pretty sure it isn't best practice, but I'm just curious...
Thanks for your time!

Not possible sorry. You can use eval() but the overhead would make it pointless. Namespacing using the name of your library/application/project has worked well for years, I'd stick with that
