Re: define (true/false)

i never really used constants before so this may sound stupid.. when you define a constant using define() and want to return true/false is this logical: if($bars == 3) { define('BAR', 1); } then: if(BAR) { // bars is true } or should i need to do an else statement as well: if($bars == 3) { define('BAR', 1); } else { define('BAR', 0) } lastly is it more practical to just do: if($bars == 3) {

     $bar = true;

} i am curious what most people would use.

I wouldn't use a constant for that, but in either case, I'd do the else and define it either way. If your statement doesn't evaluate to true and you don't define your variable/constant, you'll get a notice (if you have that level of error reporting turned on) when you try to check it. -- John C.
