How must we document (with phpDocumentor) constants defined with define() in PHP?

I found nothing in the docs, but found the following example (which I don't see it's use) in the sample2.php:

/**#@+
 * Constants
 */
/**
 * first constant
 */
define('testing', 6);
/**
 * second constant
 */
define('anotherconstant', strlen('hello'));

Anyone can tell me what's the best way to document constants in PHP with phpDocumentor?

A: 

Define statements are in general only commented with a descriptive text, so that's basically how you comment it.

To read more about the DocBlock template tag, /**#@+, check out the manual page.

A: 

You have at phpDoc.org the elements that can be documented.

You also have an example of documenting a define() (the second piece of code and surrounding paragraphs).
