Environment Space & Global Variables?

[jlpeifer]

Hi and thanks in advance for your kind input.

I'm running a canned PHP packaged named osCommerce. It uses lots of global variables. What's really strange is that some of the variables display as they should... and others simply display as, well, variables (e.g. TABLE_HEADING_LASTNAME, TABLE_HEADING_FIRSTNAME, TEXT_DATE_ACCOUNT_CREATED, etc.) Is it possible that my server is running out of environment space to store all these globals?

What's odd is that no one else who runs this program seems to be encountering this issue. This leads me to believe that something may not be configured correctly on my server.

Any clues or hints would be GREATLY appreciated.

Oh, and register_globals is ON.

I guess that they are all constants.
You can create constant variable by using DEFINE.
example:

define("MYNAME","scoppc");
print "My name is: " . MYNAME;
