For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-13 04:39:32] fredbird at contactoffice dot net The function defined() always return false within a function or class, although the value of the constant is still available. the code : <?php define(NAME, "value"); function f() { if (defined(NOM)) echo "NOM is defined"; echo NOM; } f(); ?> will print "value" only. Currently tested with EasyPHP running with a Windows XP computer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20406&edit=1
