CONSTANTS and classes

[nikko50]

Hello all🙂
I have a file that contains some CONSTANTS like below. Can I use these within a class files or do all variables have to be declared within the scope of the class?? I new to classes and need some help.

define("MAINBILLING", "3360");
define("ACCOUNTNUM", "53");
define("LOCATION", "USA");
define("FROM", "CLARK");
define("EMAIL", "[e-mail]");

Yes, you can use such constants within a class. However, such a dependency may make your class less reusable, which therefore would defeat one of the main benefits of OOP. I would probably recommend that the constants be passed to the class as class variables, perhaps via the constructor or a setter method.
