Does PHP have symbols like Ruby? Or, should I just use strings as the keys in a PHP associative array?
I’m guessing it’s the same answer as that of the question Is there a Python equivalent to Ruby symbols?

PHP has definable constants, but that’s not really very useful in this context.
So no. Use strings as keys.
