Can you have pragmas/literals in PHP?

Hi, I have set of php code lines that are often repeated . Functions are in this circumstance not suitable. So my question is does PHP have what are in other languages sometimes called pragmas or literal. I suppose they could be descibed as variables containing code. -- zzapper vim -c ":%s%s*%Cyrnfr)fcbafbe[Oenz(Zbbyranne%|:%s)[[()])-)Ig|norm Vg?" http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/tips/ vim, zsh & success tips
