[SOLVED] define()

[sawade]

bool define ( string $name , mixed $value )

 

Is it possible to put SMTP values into an external php file and call on them?

 

For example:

 

<?php
  // Define Email constants
  define('STMP_HOST', 'localhost');
  define('STMP_PORT', '26');
  define('STMP_PASSWORD', 'password');
  define('STMP_USERNAME', 'username');
?>

 

<?php
/* Email */
require_once "Mail.php";
    require_once "emailcontants.php";

	$to = $_POST['email'] . ', ' ;
	$to .= "me@email.com";

	$headers["From"] = "Me <me@email.com>";
	$headers["Subject"] = "Email";

	$smtp["host"] = STMP_HOST;
	$smtp["port"] = STMP_PORT;
	$smtp["auth"] = true;
	$smtp["username"] = STMP_USERNAME;
	$smtp["password"] = STMP_PASSWORD;

	$msg = "Hello!";

	$msg = wordwrap($msg, 70);

	/* Sends Email */
	$mail = Mail::factory('smtp', $smtp);

	$mail->send($to, $headers, $msg)
		or die('Error accessing SMTP server.');
?>

Why do you tink it might not be? and have you tried actually doing it?

[sawade]

Well I've never used define() and the only time I have practiced with it is for mysql connect constants.  Wasnt' sure if it was only useable with mysql.  And no I haven't tried it yet.  I am working on another aspect of the code first before jumping headfirst into this.

Wasnt' sure if it was only useable with mysql.

define() is a PHP construct, not limited to any particular PHP modules.
