[RESOLVED] differences between declaring a constant.

[igorek]

what are the differences between these

<?php 
  const HELLO = 'Hello World!' ;

<?php 
  if ( ! defined( 'HELLO' ) ) 
      define( 'HELLO' ,  'Hello World!' ) ;

one faster than the other or something or is the first just a lazy way of declaring? :queasy:
