I have a class called Randimg. Within that class, I have several methods. Within a few of those methods, I use the below code snippet: $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] What would be the best way to assign the above code to a global variable/constant within the class?

Within the constructor for Randimg you could set a local protected variable: class Randimg { var $docroot = false; function Randimg () {

    $this->docroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

} and then you can just reference $this->docroot from any of the Randimg methods. In PHP 5 could you create $docroot as a protected class constant, but in PHP 4 the above will have to do.
