question about define()

[t3chb0y]

when you define something

for example

 define( "E1", "October 31,2008")

I get the feeling that I'll get some parse errors or something...Is there a need to escape the comma?

you might not use numbers in define ...and capital letters only and just _
...

for example:

define( "FOURTY_TWO", 42);

print FOURTY_TWO-4; //40

I guess I must be hallucinating a lot of the defined constants listed in the [man]Math[/man] section, then 🙂
