The define() function defines a constant.
define()函数的作用是：定义一个常量。

Constants are much like variables, except for the following differences:
常量[constant]与变量[variable]有很多相似的地方，因此，很容易混淆；下面，我们列举一下常量[constant]与变量[variable]之间的不同点：
    A constant's value cannot be changed after it is set
    一个常量值在指定之后就不可以更改；
    Constant names do not need a leading dollar sign ($)
    设置常量时，不需要在前面加上“$”符号；
    Constants can be accessed regardless of scope
    常量可以被所有范围的域访问；
    Constant values can only be strings and numbers
    常量的值只能是“字符串[string]”和“数字[number]”；
