[PHP] How to reference global variables in strings

2001-02-05 Thread Karl J. Stubsjoen

If you don't prefix a global variable with $ then how can you interpit a
global variable within a string?  AS IN:

define ("MY_PATH", "/home/me/");

print("This is My Path:  MY_PATH or is it?");

This wouldn't be a global variable; rather, it's a constant. And, 
you'd reference it like

print("This is My Path:  ".MY_PATH." or is it?");
