@PHP-DIR@ and @DATA-DIR@

What are @PHP-DIR@ and @DATA-DIR@ ?

 

I came across s piece of code containing some expressions that I haven't seen before.

The code is establishing the presence of PEAR and then:

$tstDir = '@PHP-DIR@/tst';
$cfgDir = '@DATA-DIR@/cfg';

 

Is this something "PEAR" specific or is this PHP?

 

(Oh and I tried to do a search here for @PHP-DIR@ and got an error!)

 

Thanks

Looks as though it is used in the same way as the % symbol is in windows eg if you open up command prompt and type

cd %windir%

then no matter what folder you are curently in it will take you to the folder that has your windows instalation in it (normaly c:\windows).  Basicly it should use system refferencing to establish the directory rather than absoloute refferencing.

 

That's just what it looks like to me though, I'm probably wrong.
