php define(constant) doesn't work

darp

What have I not understood?

constant.php
<?php
define("FOO", "bar" );
echo FOO; /returns "bar" /
?>

test.php
<?php
echo FOO; /returns FOO./
?>

should return "bar" - right?

So why doesn't it?

scrupul0us

are u including constant.php in test.php?

include("constant.php");
echo FOO; //should return BAR

Nope, only the currently executing script. Once it's done processing, all data in memory is destroyed (thus the need for sessions and the $_SESSION array).

if you not want to use session,

you can try

1, <a href="test.php?foo=bar">test</a>
2, use http post
3, use cookie
