Referencing constants from included files

[PHPSardine]

I'm trying to hold a host of constants for my site in a config.inc file. I use the define function as such:

define ('SITE_NAME', 'mysite');

Then, I include the file in the constructor of a class. I instantiate that class. I then try to echo out the constant. It does not work. I even checked to see if it's defined using the define() function and it says that it is defined. I then checked to see what would happen if I defined the constant on the same page as I use it. It works fine. All of this adds up to just confuse me.

Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Should work. Can we see some code?

config.inc.php:

<?php
define ('SITE_NAME', 'iLiKEiLiKE');
?>

page.php:

<?php

class Page {

public $page_title;
public $script;

// Class constructor
public function __construct($page_title, $script = '', $contents = '')
{
	// Include configuration file
	include('../config.inc.php');
}
}
?>

index.php:

<?php
include('classes/page.php');
$contents = "			<p>Welcome to ".SITE_NAME.".</p>";
$page = new Page('Home', '<script></script>', $contents);
if(defined('SITE_NAME'))
{
	echo "it is defined";
}
else 
{
	echo "it is not defined";
}
?>

There is a lot of unnecessary stuff excluded. Bascially, index.php calls the page.php class and the constructor for that class includes config.inc.php. I have the test to see if the constant is defined and it evaluates to "it is defined". So...I'm baffled.

I figured it out. I reference the variable before I define it...I always figure these things out right after I post. Thanks for the willingness to help!
