define not working

[jacinthe]

Hi everyone,

got a little problem

i first define a constant like this :

define (my_const, 30);

and then later i use it that way :

switch ($my_value)
{
case $my_const:
// do somethin'
break;
}

when i run my code, it don't recognize it and don't execute the code under the case.

is it because its an integer value or what?

I know my code work 'cause when i change $my_const for a value, it's doing what it's suppose to do.

thanks for the help!

constants don't have the '$' in their name, and they should be writting in caps. (convention)

define (MY_CONST, 30);

switch ($my_value)
{
case MY_CONST:
// do somethin'
break;
}
