note 119848 added to function.define

Php 7 - Define: "Defines a named constant at runtime. In PHP 7, array values are also accepted." But prior PHP 7, you can maybe do this, to pass an array elsewhere using define: $to_define_array = serialize($array); define( "DEFINEANARRAY", $to_define_array ); ... and so ... $serialized = DEFINEANARRAY; // passing directly the defined will not work $our_array = unserialize($serialized); print_r($our_array); ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 79.37.201.4 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.define.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119848 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119848 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119848 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
