Also, when you are creating classes, you can declare your own constants.
```php
class Human {
const TYPE_MALE = 'm';
const TYPE_FEMALE = 'f';
const TYPE_UNKNOWN = 'u'; // When user didn't select his gender
.............
}
```
**Note:** If you want to use those constants inside the `Human` class, you can refer them as `self::CONSTANT_NAME`. If you want to use them outside the class, you need to refer them as `Human::CONSTANT_NAME`.
