sry for my jargon…
this is just a newbie query…
define(‘FAVMOVIE’, ‘The Life of Brian’);
This is treated as constant as per PHP obviously…
so my question is:
Will it work as GLOBAL variable throughout my session?
can we change the value of a constant run-time? if yes then what is the use of the constant, why not using just simple variable instead?
thanks for considering my question for your expert comments/answers…
Will it work as GLOBAL variable throughout my session?
With common sense of the term “session” - no.
Dunno what you mean under GLOBAL variable though. Cause GLOBAL variables aren’t accessible throughout session too, but only SESSION variables are.
can we change the value of a constant run-time?
The answer is very simple. As well as it’s url - it is just http://php.net/constants
No, it’s a constant, not a variable.
can we change the value of a constant run-time?
No.
yes i agree…
then guys what is the purpose of the constants? if it’s not global…
what if I define a constant into a function, will it scope to be limited to that function only? or throughout the script it’ll maintain it’s assigned value?
Why don’t you either test it with 2 lines of code or read the answer from the link I provided?
Indeed.
Who said it’s not global? I said it’s not a variable.
