yes, you can do this, but you have the order wrong.

you must set the variable before you use it.

and you must have double quotes around the variable in the define() call

single quotes denotes a literal string which will not include the value of a
variable, you would end up echo'ing  Hello $var instead of Hello Dan

$var = Dan;

define('CONSTANT', Hello $var);

echo CONSTANT

hmm there is a problem, i set my defines in a defines.php file , i place it
right at the top of my main includes file , which sets the paths for other
include files , i have my funtion within a class , so the order is

include(defines.php);
include(class.php);

$class = new class;

would it work if it switch it ?



include(class.php);

$class = new class;
include(defines.php);

the variable is set within the class , its an internal variable ie
$this-_variable;

RE: [PHP] variales within define constants

2003-03-22 Thread Dan Rossi 
ok i need to e able to predefine messages in a settings file , but need
dynamic variables to print out , the variables are within a class ,
basically i want the message settings seperate from the class itself so they
are configurable, this is mostly need for when emailing messages , i need to
be able to go Hello $username or Hello $this-username for example , is
there any way to do this ?
