Calling a const property inside a Class in Laravel using a dynamic string

Question

I have a class Constant in App\Utilities See Below:

<?php
 class Constant {
   const

        WEEK_1 = 'Week 1',
        WEEK_2 = 'Week 2';
}
?>

And I can echo Constant::WEEK_1 it gives me 'Week 1',

But what I want is to dynamically call constant week say

foreach([1,2] as $key => $num) {
   echo Constant::'WEEK_'.$num
}

And Im getting a parse error.

How to do this? Anyone? Thanks

@Uchiha I think its not a duplicate. The link you attached is not using Laravel. And my tweek was to include the namespace. Though both using constant define function. — John Roca, Feb 25 '16 at 05:16

I found the answer my self by doing:

echo constant('App\Utilities\Constant::WEEK_'.$num);
