Hi Adam.
As per the manual, constants may only evaluate to scalar values. Are
you sure what you're trying to do is even possible here?
If you try to define a constant as an array, as follows:
<?php
define('something',array('foo','bar'));
?>
the following error results:
Warning: Constants may only evaluate to scalar values in
c:\phpdev\www\constant.php on line 2.
The valid types for use within constants are:
- boolean
- integer
- floating-point number (float)
- string
Cheers,
Pablo
