Hi Matt,
I use define's.
me too. mostly because unless you use the runkit extension or
something you can't undefine or change the values of a constant.
bare in mind though that define() is horribly slow (to paraphrase
Rasmus) which may be the reason many projects choose to use variables
instead. see here:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.apc-define-constants.php
With variables it's easy to forget to global'ise it when you go into a
function, define's don't have this issue.
also true :-).

Hello Everyone,
I have a config.inc.php file which basically contains all the
configuration info that the applications needs (directory/file
locations, database credentials, etc). The information there is set
using the define() function.
However, I've seen some open-source projects which either use
$variables or associative arrays to save the values.
My application works pretty fine but I'd like to solicit opinions from
everyone on what they are using in this case. Also, I have plans of
putting up a sort of coding guidelines for the company so it might
help to have other opinions on this one.
Thanks and best regards,
Matt
