Varible calling a define value

Hello all, I am setting up a page that I would like to use DEFINE to retrieve more information about abriviations in a database. The database part all works just fine. Currently i have a Defiune setup of: define("THS", "This is a test"); I also have a string value of $that='THS'; When I echo out $that it get THS. I want to echo out $that and get: This is a test. How can I do this? ---------- UMPA Brian C. Doyle Director, Internet Services United Merchant Processing Association <http://www.umpa-us.com>http://www.umpa-us.com 1-800-555-9665 ext 212
