is it possible to phase a define in variables

 

probley easy lol! just can't find a way 

 

define("priority_3","<span class=\"priority_3\">Normal</span>", ture);

 

<?php echo $request['priority']; ?>

[Death_Octimus]

would BB code code be a good way forward?

I think I speak for everyone here when I say I don't know what you're asking.  A better explanation of what you're trying to do, with relevant context, may make it easier for you to get help.

sorry peeps

 

basically

 

I got a var = $request['priority'];

 

whats prints out " priority_3 "

 

want this to work \/

 

define("priority_3","<span class=\"priority_3\">Normal</span>", ture);

 

[jay7981]

so what you are wanting is ..

<?php
IF ($request==priority_3){
echo "something here"; 
}elseif ($request==priority_2{ 
echo "this instead";
}else{
echo "this too";
}
?>

no I need to call a define from a var !

[eli312]

define("priority_3","<span class=\"priority_3\">Normal</span>", ture);

should be:

define("Priority_3","<span class=\"priority_3\">Normal</span>", true);

 

then:

 

define("Priority_3","<span class=\"priority_3\">Normal</span>", true);

echo Priority_3;

You need to be more specific with your question.

 

no I need to call a define from a var !

Does not make sense. Do you know what define does and how to use constants.

[Death_Octimus]

okay

 

i have the define in my themefile

/images/default/theme.php

 

okay thats all good it will work if called right form a php file in an echo in "words"

 

echo priority_3;

 

BUT

 

I'm trying to pull the words form an $request['priority']; containing the same words!

 

 

<?php 

//don't not work
echo $request['priority']; 

//works
echo priority_3; ?>

 

ifs its not possible then nevermind i'll find anther way

[wildteen88]

Do you mean $request['priority'] holds the value 'priority_3' (or priority_2 or priority_1 etc). And you want to call the constand priority_3 (or 2 or 1 etc). You can use the function constant to call a constant

 

For example

 

define("Priority_3","<span class=\"priority_3\">Normal</span>", true);

$request['priority'] = 'Priority_3'; 

echo constant($request['priority']);

Also, do you have your own array named $request, or are you trying to use the superglobal array $_REQUEST?
