The following constants are only available if the host operating system is Windows, and can tell different versioning information so its possible to detect various features and make use of them.

## Windows specific constants

`PHP_WINDOWS_VERSION_MAJOR` (`int`)

This table shows a list of features that can be checked for using the `PHP_WINDOWS_VERSION_SUITEMASK` bitmask.
