yes, you can do this, but you have the order wrong.
you must set the variable before you use it.
and you must have double quotes around the variable in the define() call
single quotes denotes a literal string which will not include the value of a
variable, you would end up echo'ing "Hello $var" instead of "Hello Dan"
$var = "Dan";
define('CONSTANT', "Hello $var");
echo CONSTANT
