Use the constant() function:

echo constant( $my . $const );

I don't really see how you can? The only correlation at all is that the
two variables use the same letters combined as their values as the name
of the constant but in a different case. Variables and constants in PHP
are case-sensitive.

Why are you trying to do this anyway? Perhaps there's a better way than
what you are trying to do.

Thanks,
