Using this function it is possible to set a default value for a constant. This allows users to set the value of constants used in your script, from within their own. Which means your script remains in it's original state. yourScript.php: <?php if(!defined('CONST_VAL')) define('CONST_VAL', 'Default Value'); echo CONST_VAL; ?> userScript.php: <? include 'yourScript.php'; define('CONST_VAL', 'Hello World!'); ?> If you tried just defining the constant again without using the !defined() check, you would receive a "Constant CONST_VAL already defined" notice. ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.19 Probable Submitter: 202.89.181.92 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.defined.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63313 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63313 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63313 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
