note 50820 added to function.define

Notes on using serialize to store an array in a constant: <?php define('MYCONST','test'); //define constant with junk value ${MYCONST} = serialize(array("foo" => "bar")); //change value to serialized array echo "constant: ".${MYCONST}; echo "<br>"; $unserialized = unserialize(${MYCONST}); //unserialize echo "unserialized: ".$unserialized['foo']; ?> Note that you have to use ${} around the constant name for this to work. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50820 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50820&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50820&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50820&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50820&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50820&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50820&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
