Re: Unexpected behaviour from define()

Thank you very much! Once I realized the source of the problem, I was dismayed that one could declare a constant and have the interpreter absolutely ignore it without warning. I already had error_reporting to E_ALL in php.ini, so was unaware of what else I could do. Didn't think to look for 'display_errors = 1' in php.ini since I was seeing error messages for other errors. Thanks again.
