If you don't prefix a global variable with $ then how can you interpit a global variable within a string? AS IN: define ("MY_PATH", "/home/me/"); print("This is My Path: MY_PATH or is it?");

This wouldn't be a global variable; rather, it's a constant. And, you'd reference it like print("This is My Path: ".MY_PATH." or is it?"); See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php and http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php -steve -- +--- "They've got a cherry pie there, that'll kill ya" ------------------+ | Steve Edberg University of California, Davis | | sbedberg@ucdavis.edu Computer Consultant | | http://aesric.ucdavis.edu/ http://pgfsun.ucdavis.edu/ | +-------------------------------------- FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper ---+
