Not predefined constants, predefined *global variables* -- and there's the clue. > aren't > being set. Any ideas? What switch do I have to flick? Almost certainly register_globals -- but don't! (Unless you have legacy code that must run asap.) Much better to leave register_globals=Off and get used to using the superglobal arrays -- in this case, you will want (iirc) $_SERVER['HTTP_SERVER'] and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'].
