[Resolved] Constants

[ScubaKing22]

I'm having a very strange problem with constants. I have the following code (Not exact of course but...):

<?php
define("SECURE","Done");
require("page.php");
echo SECURE;
?>

OK that works perfectly fine it says 'Done' on the screen. But, if I do:

<?
echo SECURE;
?>

on the page.php page, it says SECURE meaning PHP turned it into a string. So if I use the constant("SECURE") it says

Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant SECURE

Does anyone know what could possibly be going wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated 😉

Can you give us the exact "require()" line? I think I may know what's causing it, but my theory relies entirely on the path you're using to include the file.

That is the exact line just not the exact page name. The page is in the same directory. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I am using output buffering. Here are the first few lines:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
define("SECURE","Done");
ob_start();
require("classes.php");
//etc...
ob_end_flush();
?>

Sorry for the bump but I found out the problem. In the classes.php page it was outputting some HTML, part of which was an iFrame (yes yes shame on me for using them). The constant which was "not found" was on the page being used in the iFrame. I've corrected it by not using iFrames 😉
