Preprocessor directives in PHP

#define like C?

[aspr1n]

Hi all,

Anyone know if there is a way in PHP to create C like preprocessor directives in PHP eg: #define VALUE 2

I don't want to use constants as I have no need to evaluate them each time and so is a waste as they're purely there for code readability.

Cheers,

asp

Its an interpretted scripting language so they'd be 'evaluated' (in a manner of speaking) anyway ...

In other words: No

In C (and to some extent even in Perl) you have to do everything manually. In PHP, it's pretty much taken care of, and there's nothing much you can do/change about it...

I've looked into it and there is no direct replacement. You may want to look at the "eval" function in PHP.
