Notice:Use of undefined constant

Hi, On my system (Fedora 2) we (users) can use the following php: PHP 4.3.10 (cgi) (built: Dec 21 2004 09:18:25) Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies According to our system administrator php works in safe mode. I do not know (think) if there is any other special setup or not. In a file, which is included into all my scripts, I defined constants (for MySQL access). PHP claims these constants as undifined constants, however, if I let them print out they have the right values (HOST='localhost'; NOT: HOST='HOST'). The output of my script: ---- PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant HOST - assumed 'HOST' in /home/hegedus/bin/hae_chng.php on line 4 PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant USER - assumed 'USER' in /home/hegedus/bin/hae_chng.php on line 5 PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant PWD - assumed 'PWD' in /home/hegedus/bin/hae_chng.php on line 6 PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant DB - assumed 'DB' in /home/hegedus/bin/hae_chng.php on line 7 User: haetu Host: localhost ---- One solution could be to suppress php notices, but I think this is not the right treatment. Do you have any idea? Thanks for your help in advance, Tamas -- Tamas Hegedus, Research Fellow | phone: (1) 480-301-6041 Mayo Clinic Scottsdale | fax: (1) 480-301-7017 13000 E.
