Can I use a defined constant like this?

[chrisguk]

Hi,

I have defined a constant like:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.mysite.com'); 

Can I use the BASE_URL like this and if so how because my example below is not working?

print "<link rel=\"shortcut icon\" type=\"image/x-icon\" href=\". BASE_URL . \"/images/favicon.ico\">" . "\n";

No, constants to not get interpolated within a double-quoted string the way variables do. You'll have to use concatenation (or sprintf()):

define('FOO', 'Bar');
echo "Let's go to the ".FOO.".";

Thanks for the advice,

I amended it to this and it works fine now:

print "<link rel=\"shortcut icon\" type=\"image/x-icon\" href=\"".BASE_URL."images/favicon.ico\">" . "\n";
