note 69005 deleted from function.define by bjori

Note Submitter: thomas at tgohome dot com ---- I was looking for a way to store multiple constants without having to call the define() function more times than necessary. So, I came up with this. define_array(); It feeds data from an array, and calls the define function multiple times. A good way to save space and save time. <? /* * define_array(); * Define a set of items from an array. * * Copyright 2006 Thomas Oldbury. * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
