However, when I do this: Nope. :-( Has to be string or int or boolean or float or other "scalar" type. define("THECONSTANT", array(1,2,3)); print_r(THECONSTANT); it prints THECONSTANT and not the array :( according to the manual: bool define ( string $name, mixed $value [, bool $case_insensitive] ) And isn't "mixed" of any type? No. "mixed" just means it's 2 or more types. There could be all kinda of reasons/cases where "mixed" means only scalars, or only compound types or, really, any 2 types you'd care to choose.

So, why isn't such stuff in the manual? It could be under Paramaters: value The value of the constant. Or, perhaps replacing the mixed by scalar $value. Tijnema
