PHP - Define An Array As An Constant?

I was wondering if there is a way to get a constant by using a variable connected to it, eg:


define( 'CONSTANT_LOL', 'haha' );

$var = 'LOL';

echo CONSTANT_$var;


Any help is appreciated,

Chris

Hi,
I'm trying to echo some error message like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php echo (isset($_GET['failed']))?'.CNT_TXT_MYERRORMESSAGE.''; ?>
i know it must be a syntax error....but I'm a newb....
Thanks

Code: [Select]
$entrantQuery = "SELECT entrantID FROM entrants WHERE Game = $idT";
$entrantResult = mysql_query(entrantQuery);
$entrantRow = mysql_fetch_row(entrantResult);

I have these at the start of my php (after getting $idT), but I get the error
Notice: Use of undefined constant entrantQuery - assumed 'entrantQuery' in C:\Entrants.php on line ..

Notice: Use of undefined constant entrantResult - assumed 'entrantResult' in C:\www\Entrants.php on line..

Ive used this code lots of times before, what am I missing? They are variables that I am defining!

I've been working on a registration form and it seems like the better I get at solving more complex issues the smaller issues plague me the most.

I've got the following function:

//process database actions
function process_database($post) {
  global $table;

  //connect to database
  $connect_db = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

  //check database connection
  if ($connect_db->connect_error) {
    return false;
  } else {
    if ($stmt = $connect_db->prepare( "INSERT INTO $table (firstname, lastname, username, email, password) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ?, ? )" ) ) {
      $stmt->bind_param(NULL, $firstname, $lastname, $username, $email, $password);

      $firstname = $post['firstname'];
      $lastname = $post['lastname'];
      $username = $post['username'];
      $email = $post['email'];
      $password = $post['password'];

      if (!$stmt->execute()) {
        return false;
      }
    } 
  }

  return true;
}

This is in a functions.php file. The issue is in the $connect_db assignment that has the constants from the config.php file in it.

That file looks like this:

<?php
ob_start();
session_start();

$timezone = date_default_timezone_set("America/xxxxxxx");

$whitelist = array('username', 'email', 'email2', 'password', 'password2');
//TODO here I've removed firstname and lastname from the whitelist as they're optional
//may add them back and try to iterate around them in the future

$table = 'users';

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_NAME', 'means');

$conn = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

if($conn->connect_errno) {

    printf("Connect Failed: %s\n", $conn->connect_error);
    exit();
    
}

ob_end_flush();
?>

The constants defined in config.php are not being recognized in functions.php. I understand that constants are global and available throughout a script.

I've connected to two files with the following line:

//require config file
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../config/config.php');

as I have the config/config.php outside htdocs. I know this works because of a db query to check uniqueness of username that works properly.

Why are these constants coming back as undefined in the process_database().function.php? Nothing I've tried works and I've run out of ideas. TIA

Can someone help me out, I had a guy make some great changes to a script. works perfectly - however I want to modify it further and he's unavailable till tomorrow to discuss.

Hopefully someone will be able to guide me:

define('TBL_PROFILE_COUNTRY_FILTER', '`country_id` = \'IE\'');

This line is based on users in a database from Ireland (IE) but what I need to do is make it so that this TBL_PROFILE_COUNTRY_FILTER doesnt just filter Ireland members but also those from Northern Ireland (Ni) as well.

So my question is this - can I (and if so how) - can I add Ni to this define statement.

Grateful for any guidance (php isn't my thing at all but I'm trying to pick up what I need when I need it).

Thanks again.

Hi, I have this code to assign a CSS style to a button dependingon which page we a

Code: [Select]
<td width="13%" valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="PC_clientes_display.php"'; 
if(strstr($checkit,"PC_clientes_display.php")) echo ' class="clicked"'; 
else echo ' class="menulinks"';
echo '>CNT_TXT_ADMIN_CLIENTES</a>'; ?></td>

Mi problem is that the constant CNT_TXT_ADMIN_CLIENTES is not displaying. I know it must be a syntax error but I can' seem to figure it out. Thanks!!

I am having a problem with some php code that runs on a landing page that queries a database for the content needed to display on the template page from the keywords passed in the url. My issue is that when I tried to add some php code to the template page it reads it fails and returns

Notice: Use of undefined constant tdbd_name - assumed 'tdbd_name' in /var/www/ppcindex.php on line 147 Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /var/www/ppcindex.php on line 150

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

I get an undefined constant error message.  Am I using the variable correctly?  Should I use an echo to output the variable as text?

Hi, I would like to generate a constant value that change from a website to website but have an identical value for a single website. For example 

$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']

doesn't change for a single website, but easy to guess. an other idea is 

realpath(dirname(__FILE__))

but this can change if the web application execute scripts located in sub directories of the main script that use this variable. So what other possibilities to get a constant value that doesn't change ?   Thank you.

How do you establish a tax rate in a MySQL database to use in a form calculation, then be able to change the value to a new constant value from the form?
