[SOLVED] constant not getting read

[evanct]

Simple but confusing problem: I have this constant defined in config.php:

 

define('MAX_IMAGE_SIZE',350);

 

And part of this function that uses it:

 

require_once('config.php'); 
list($width,$height)=getimagesize($path);
$left_margin=(MAX_IMAGE_SIZE - $width) / 2 .'px;';

 

MAX_IMAGE_SIZE isn't recognized for some reason. it's just treated as 0. the require_once filepath is correct. MAX_IMAGE_SIZE is used successfully in other scripts. have any ideas why this might happen?

its possible that your config.php isnt set up properly.

I got it, it seems the require_once path had to be relative to the script that was calling the function that used MAX_IMAGE_SIZE - not to the script that contained that function. seems counterintuitive to me, but oh well.
