Exactly,
CONSTANTS are ... "eternal truths" to the program, they shouldn't
change, constants should not be changing based on arguments being
passed, or other variables.
by definition, it's no longer a constant, and a misuse of the define
() function.

But you would never want to use a variable to determine a constant
because the variable is not likely to be the same (that is why we call
them variables) on any iteration. Using constants in expressions is
OK,
for instance
if(BAR == $foo){
...stuff...
}
But modifying a constant is a no-no.
