If you don't enclose them in quotes, PHP first looks for a constant
with that name. Thus, it the constant PASSWORD was defined as 'some
silly string', your code would evaluate to $_POST['some silly string']
instead of the string 'PASSWORD' that you probably intended it to use.
That, and it generates an E_NOTICE. On a production server, these are
usually hidden from public view, but it is still good practice to
avoid them.
