DEFINE("MYCONSTANTHASAVALUE", "it's O.S.C.A.R"); if ( empty(MYCONSTANTHASAVALUE) ) echo "Where's the beef?"; else "Your stomach cancer stick is secure."; --------- This code snippet will work on php 4.2- (maybe 4.30 too). But it fails as of 4.3+. I had to retool a lot of old code. Guess I'll stick to the much shorter ! sign if ( !MYCONSTANTHASAVALUE ) ... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34481 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34481&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34481&report=yes
