Hi,
define('MYCONST', 'something');
$my = 'my';
$const = 'const';
is it possible to get the value of MYCONST using variables $my and
$const_

I don't really see how you can? The only correlation at all is that the
two variables use the same letters combined as their values as the name
of the constant but in a different case. Variables and constants in PHP
are case-sensitive.
Why are you trying to do this anyway? Perhaps there's a better way than
what you are trying to do.
Thanks,

<?php
define('PERFIX', 'dbperfix_');
define('DB_MYTABLE', PERFIX . 'mytable');
abstract class Database {
private static function table_name() {
$table_name = strtolower(get_called_class());
return constant('DB_' . strtoupper($table_name));
}
public static function return_query() {
return "select * from " . static::table_name() . " where
something='value'";
}
}
class MyTable extends Database {
}
echo MyTable::return_query();
?>
i know i could just do return PERFIX . $table_name. - i'm using it that
way. i was just curious if the other way is possible. might come handy
some day!

this is better:
<?php
define('PERFIX', 'dbperfix_');
define('DB_MYTABLE', PERFIX . 'mytable');
abstract class Database {
private static function table_name() {
return constant('DB_' . strtoupper(get_called_class()));
}
public static function return_query() {
return "select * from " . static::table_name() . " where
something='value'";
}
}
class MyTable extends Database {
}
echo MyTable::return_query();
?>
I'm jumping a few steps here, but you may be interested in looking at
this pattern :)
