Not so Robert, here's how I typically handle such situations.
$reqdApplicFilesArray = array(// *Required application files and define() value
'regAdminSettings.db' => 'ADMIN_SETTINGS_FILE',
'regMemberData.db' => 'MEMBER_DATA_FILE',
'emailCellSettings.db' => 'EMAIL_CELL_SETTINGS_FILE',
);
foreach($reqdApplicFilesArray as $file => $defineContant)
{define($defineContant, $file);}

I freely use defined constants for all fixed variables in my config file.
I guess you have no fixed array values since constants don't support
non-scalars.
The nice thing about arrays is how they group related configuration
entries together.
Cheers,
Rob.
It insures they cannot be inadvertently reassigned by a function someplace and
are available everywhere.
define('MYSQL_HOST',"localhost");

Hi gang:
More of a question of method rather than of "right" or "wrong" -- of the
two methods mentioned here, which way would be "better" and why?
1. Setting $GLOBALS one time as shown here.

And the variables are defined in config.php

config.php

<?php
//Mysql vars
$GLOBALS['mysql_host'] = "localhost";
$GLOBALS['mysql_user'] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$GLOBALS['mysql_pass'] = "";
?>
2. Or, setting variables as shown below and including them when needed?

config.php

<?php
//Mysql vars
$localhost = 'localhost';
$mysql_user = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$mysql_pass = '';
