I freely use defined constants for all fixed variables in my config file.
It insures they cannot be inadvertently reassigned by a function

define('MYSQL_HOST',"localhost");
Constants are a good solution for this, but I hate UPPERCASE (I'm not
postal). :-)
I may go against convention and use lowercase and start constants
with an underscore, something like this:
define('_dbname', 'subscribers');
After all, variables start with a "$", so why can't constants start
with "_ "? That seems kind of symmetrical to me.
Opinions, possible problems, advice?
