db and defined constants

[plutomed]

This is probs. an easy one but I have in my database some values, these values are defined constants in my php code. How do I display the value of the constant not the text (constant name)?

[joel24]

you want to echo the value of a constant...?... but not the name of the constant?

 

define("MyConstant", "testing");
echo "This will echo my constant: " . MyConstant;

I just remember constant(); Got it working.

 

Say I had a field in my db that contained FOO. In my php code I had define("FOO", "bar");

What I wanted to do was get the value from the database and echo the constant value. I just put in the code as you would echo from a db normally and it echoed FOO. by putting constant around it, it echoed bar. If that is any better explanation?
