get defined constants from current file only

I have some constants defined in a file like:

define("staff", 20);
define("manager", 30);
define("director", 40);

they are not inside a class so 

$class = new ReflectionClass("Foo");
$constants = $class->getConstants();

will not help.

Unfortunately the names are not prefixed like PERMISSION_

So the best option for me is to get_defined_constants(); from the current file only

is this possible?

This can be done through get_defined_constant() method. Following will be the code to get those values.

include("/path_to_file/constant_file.php");

$constant_set = get_defined_constants(true);

echo $constant_set['user']['staff'];
echo $constant_set['user']['manager'];
echo $constant_set['user']['director'];
