Fabrice Delaneau 02 December 2006 A bit out of this topic but might be helpful for the PHP part : Real constants, not variables, exists indeed in PHP define(“CONSTANT_NAME”,“constant value”); I usually use it to define the installation path of my sites, this allows me to easily move a site into subfolders. define(‘INSTALL_PATH’, ‘/folder-name’); $url = INSTALL_PATH.’/path/of/the/files’; Also, the constant name doesn’t need to be in full uppercase but it makes it easier to spot in your code later. As for the CSS constant this seems a nice to go, specially on big files or if you work in a team.

A bit out of this topic but might be helpful for the PHP part :
Real constants, not variables, exists indeed in PHP
define(“CONSTANT_NAME”,“constant value”);
I usually use it to define the installation path of my sites, this allows me to easily move a site into subfolders.
define(‘INSTALL_PATH’, ‘/folder-name’);
$url = INSTALL_PATH.’/path/of/the/files’;
Also, the constant name doesn’t need to be in full uppercase but it makes it easier to spot in your code later.
