Define question

reeksy

I have defined the following like so:

define('FIELD_ONE_NAME','client');

What i then want is to use that value (in this case its 'client') as a variable

So i will then have access to $client

Is this possible? I thought the syntax was something like:

$this->FIELD_ONE_NAME

but it doesnt work!

I will be using this variable in the 'value' attribute of an input field - like below.

<input type="text" name="<? print FIELD_ONE_NAME; ?>" value=" //this is where im stick! " />

Does anyone have any ideas?!

Thanks

I think that it will be far easier if you use it in an associative array.

$this->row[FIELD_ONE_NAME];

Using

$row[FIELD_ONE_NAME]

works for the value attribute of the input tag, however this wont work my MySQL insert / update query.

i basically need to say 'where client = $client'

Is this possible?

Give an overview of what you are trying to do.

Try this code (supposing you have your define as a const in the class "MyClass".

<?php
class MyClass
{
	const FIELD_ONE_NAME = "client";
	public function getFieldOneName()
	{
		return self::FIELD_ONE_NAME;	
	}
}

$myInstance = new MyClass();
echo "It contains: " . $myInstance->getFieldOneName();
?>

Last line can be changed by this one. Easier 🙂
echo "It contains: " . MyClass::FIELD_ONE_NAME;

Hope it helps 😉
