define constants paths in laravel

I'm trying to this in laravel app folder:

define('PP_CONFIG_PATH', /paypal/sdk_config.ini);

The source of this is a file i created next to routes.php and filters.php and i named it constants.php.

in the laravel app folder i have a folder named paypal and inside it i have the sdk_config,

i recieve this all the time:

Use of undefined constant paypal - assumed 'paypal'
Open: C:\wamp\www\misterSurvey\app\constants.php
<?php
    define('PP_CONFIG_PATH',/paypal/sdk_config.ini);
?>

<?php
//file : app/config/constants.php

return [
    'PP_CONFIG_PATH' => '/paypal/sdk_config.ini'
];

in anywhere:

echo Config::get('constants.PP_CONFIG_PATH');

Encapsulate the string within ' or " otherwise it will try looking for constants, and you will get a Use of undefined constant error. Like so;

define('PP_CONFIG_PATH','/paypal/sdk_config.ini');

Note: This is an error within the documentation.

You need to always put strings into quotes (single or double depending on need) otherwise you will get errors Use of undefined constant.

For example:

$x = aaa;

you will also get this error because there are no quotes before and after aaa so the correct usage is:

$x = 'aaa';

The same is in your case. It should be:

define('PP_CONFIG_PATH', '/paypal/sdk_config.ini');

It seems there is error in documentation at https://github.com/paypal/rest-api-sdk-php - quotes should be there or it's rather some pseudo path so author didn't add quotes because it's obvious.
