php constant gets duplicated inside foreach loop - php

Question

I've been strugling with this problem for some time now. I can't figure out whats wrong.
Following code is very simple, VISOR_URL is a constant defined in another file. If i echo it outside forearch loop it prints the constant value. If I print it inside the loop it's value gets duplicated.
Same problem occurs if I use a variable.
Any ideas?.
Thanks in advance.

<?php
require_once('conf.php');//I require the file where VISOR_URL is defined
//VISOR_URL is defined in conf.php. define('VISOR_URL', $server_ip.'/'.VISOR_NAME);
echo VISOR_URL; //echoes http://192.168.0.15/tncvisornuevo
if (!empty($occurrence_ids)) {//occurrence_ids is an array and values are printed fine
foreach ($occurrence_ids as $key => $value) {
echo VISOR_URL; //echoes http://192.168.0.15/tncvisornuevohttp://192.168.0.15/tncvisornuevo
$ocurrencia = new ca_occurrences($value);
$nombre_ocurrencia = $ocurrencia->get('ca_occurrences.preferred_labels');
$link = ''.$nombre_ocurrencia.'';
echo $link."<br>";
}
}
?>
Following simple example does not duplicate the constant value:
<?php
//Define a constant
define('CONSTANT', 'imaconstant');
echo CONSTANT."<br>"; //Echoes imaconstant
$test_array = array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
foreach ($test_array as $key => $value) {
echo $value.CONSTANT,"<br>"; //Echoes nimaconstant, n+1imaconstant
}
?>

It'll echo it as many times the loop will run. For example -
$array = array('aa','bb','cc');
$var = "abc";
foreach($array as $key => $value);
{
echo $var.'<br>';
}
/*
abc
abc
abc
*/
Now above since the array has size of 3, the loop will run 3 times and echoes the variable...ofcourse 3 times.
