That has nothing to do with register_globals! You're getting the error because you
have error_reporting set to E_ALL. The error is that both arguments to define should
be strings, thus:
define('DBF_HOST', 'localhost');
The way you have it, the naked DBF_HOST looks like a reference to a constant, but when
PHP looks it up it can't find it because it hasn't been defined yet because the define
contains a reference to the constant DBF_HOST which hasn't been defined yet so when
PHP looks it up it can't find it because... oh, well, you get the idea!
Cheers!
