Hello everyone...
I'm little confused with defining constants in Cake.
I have a gallery of pictures that are on voting for _NUMBER_OF_HOURS
constant. In my old application that was written in pure PHP and not
Cake I had constants.php file where, all constants were defined like
this:
define('name', value);
I tried this in my bootstrap.php and it works and I could go with this
but in manual I see some methods like Configure::write and ::read to
do this?!?!
As I understood old method define(); is much better because it uses
php native way to define constants and latter on to use that constant
you just call it like this: _CONSTANT_NAME.
With configure method writing and reading takes some some time and
then again it is pain in the a** to do Configure::read() every time I
need value of _CONSTANT_NAME.
My question is the benefit of using Cake approach??? I can see some
dynamic aspects but everything can be achieved with define();
Am I wrong ??
Thanks
