Re: Defining custom constants in models
If it would have been a class constant, you could have accessed it
with className::constant, e.g.
class MyClass
{
const constant = 'constant value';
}
however, you're defining a global constant in which the variable can
be accessed anywhere during the execution of the script just by typing
the constant name, e.g.
define ('CONSTANT', value)

Re: Defining custom constants in models
If you're using PHP5 you can try class constants for this:
http://ru2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php
Because defines are _global_ as euromark mentioned.

Re: Defining custom constants in models
since when are constants NOT global?
if you define them in your model (above the class statement)
just refer to them like you usually would
echo USER_ROLE_READER etc
thats all there is to it
