Note Submitter: tech at litigationdataservices dot com ---- If your oft-used array is already defined, but the key value doesn't start at ['0'], --for example if you need an array of state names conforming to GIS codes, it's far easier to define the array in a low-level class and call it by $classname->states[$STATEID]; than it is to try to define it as a constant or use an function to call it later from a free-standing array. It's also useful to do it this way when all you want to do is recall a fixed array value, but don't necessarily want to hit the database just to get it.
