note 45946 added to function.define

Justin Frenchs comment on scope definition of a constant are not true, his example ommited calling the function, which defines the PET_NAME constant, that's why his conclusion is wrong, that constants are only visible in the scope of a function / class. Constants are like superglobals. Test: -------- function test() { define('PET_NAME','fluffy'); } test(); define('PET_TYPE','cat'); echo PET_NAME.'is a '.PET_TYPE; Will echo "fluffy is a cat", not "PET_NAME is a cat". maybe you simply remove the misleading posting. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45946 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45946&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45946&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
