节点从php文件中获取字符串/值

I have the following code in a php file:

<?php
    //some code before...
    define('VERSION', 8);

    //some more code after...
?>

Is it possible to use node to grab the value 8 from the constant?

I'm using

fs.readFile("includes/my_file.php", "utf8", function(error, data) {
  console.log(data);
});

to read the file but not sure if I can actually grab the constant.

note: this is for a gulp script

My suggestion is:

Put your version to JSON file. If you use node modules then it could be the package.json -file.

Then in your PHP:

$packageStr = file_get_contents('package.json');
$settings = json_decode($packageStr, true);
define('VERSION', $settings['version']);

And in gulp:

var package = require('./package.json');
var version = package.version;
