Just joking, Derick :-)! Regards, Jessie1) Do not allow constants in namespaces, just stick to functions and classes.I am confused as to why we need namespaced constants. Now that we have class constants, this is a far better way to "namespace" constants. I was also under the impression that this was far more efficient than using define() because it can almost always be evaluted at compile-time. Greg
