For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
#define in PHP

Posted by stockton (stockton), 10 August 2007
I hope that this is not the wrong forum but I would like to do the same as one would in C and that is in an included configuration file #define a variable that could then be checked throughout the rest of the PHP system for TRUE or FALSE.
In C I used to #define TRUE 1 then #define FALSE !TRUE and therefore one could #define SQL TRUE
Effectively I would like to
$SGM=True;
& then further on in the system
if ($SGM)
{
echo '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="js/ajaxSGM.js"></script>';
}
else
{
echo '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="js/ajax.js"></script>';

}

Is this possible or better yet is there a better way?

Hi, Alf.

The syntax you're using is more or less correct - although I would use 0 and 1 for true and false.

It's common practice to have a whole file of constants and settings in a file you include in a number of PHP pages.    So the PHP will include:

require("settings.inc");

and settings.inc will include things like:

$SGM = 1;
$swlip = "192.168.200.67";
