Hi guys I tried this but it does not work!
What is wrong?

<?
$band = "beatles"
define ("MYFAVBAND", "$band is my favourite band");
echo MYFAVBAND;
?>

I got this error
"Parse error: parse error in /home/intel/public_html/test/phpdefine.php on line 3"

You're missing a ; at the end of line 2.

I was going to say that you missed the $ from the variable. LOL
