You shouldn't use constants anyway. Always inject your dependencies.

It is a small price to pay for large block, especially if the text has any
quotes. Personally, I can't keep them straight and delimit them, etc. Heredoc
saves all that such stuff.
$insert= MY_DEFINED;
echo <<<hdc
This is my $insert
hdc;

I have 25 cities and am currently using the following to set the $toaddress for
submitting student pre-registration forms based on the city selected:
if ($city == "Calgary") {
$toaddress = "abc@emailaddress";
} elseif ($city == "Brooks") {
$toaddress = "def@emailaddress";
and so on.
Would using switch statements like the following make any appreciable
difference?
switch ($city) {
case"Calgary":
$toaddress = "abc@emailaddress";
break;
case"Brooks":
$toaddress = "def@emailaddress";
break;
and so on.
Is there a more elegant solution?
Thank you for your help,
April

Way easier to just use a map.
$mapping = array(
'Calgary' => "abc@emailaddress",
'Brooks' => "def@emailaddress",
// etc
);
$toaddress = $mapping[$city];
Regards,
–Josh

If a database solution isn't desired, check out the parse_ini_file()
function. You can create a simple INI file containing the necessary
mappings and, instead of having to touch the code every time you need to
update a record, you simply modify the INI file.
Another solution would be to use Joshua's suggestion but instead of
managing the array in the PHP file using that array, throw the array in
a separate PHP file and simply require_once() it.
Of course, these solutions assume that the PHP script reading the INI
file or including the PHP that contains the array has the appropriate
file permissions to do so.
Just my two cents :)

Quick question phprz. Is it ok to put a token inside a define()
statement?
IE:
define('TOKEN', $sometoken);
I guess what I am really after is if this can be read by a hacker?
I may be misguided as to what define()'s parameters are.
Once you define something it becomes a server variable?
And server variables are easy to read/get ?
If it is unsafe, what is the best method of storing/using a token so
that it can be called at will?
Kind of like a global, just more secure. Can you secure a define
statement?
TIA,
Best,
