I know constants can't be changed or undefined; the use I have in mind won't
be; the array size and elements would be completely static. I'm just
looking to do this for the sake of ease of access to its elements and to
eliminate the need to redeclare the array as global in every bleeping
function that uses its data.

No, it is not possible.
From the online manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php):
Syntax
You can define a constant by using the define()-function.
Once a constant is defined, it can never be changed or undefined.
