note 35064 added to language.constants

I find using the concatenation operator helps disambiguate value assignments with constants. For example, setting constants in a global configuration file: define('LOCATOR', "/locator"); define('CLASSES', LOCATOR."/code/classes"); define('FUNCTIONS', LOCATOR."/code/functions"); define('USERDIR', LOCATOR."/user"); Later, I can use the same convention when invoking a constant's value for static constructs such as require() calls: require_once(FUNCTIONS."/database.fnc"); require_once(FUNCTIONS."/randchar.fnc"); as well as dynamic constructs, typical of value assignment to variables: $userid = randchar(8,'anc','u'); $usermap = USERDIR."/".$userid.".png"; The above convention works for me, and helps produce self-documenting code. -- Erich ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35064 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35064&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35064&report=yes
