There is a directive in php.ini which allows a file to be included on EVERY
page that php parses... one at the very start, and one at the very end of
the script.
So in theory, you could include consts.inc as a always-include file at the
top of every script, by setting the right directive in php.ini
I'm pretty sure this is server-wide, but maybe it could be site- or
directory-wide by setting the variable in a .htaccess file.
Cheers,
