Works fine for me. Is that the only code you got?

Yea, im afraid my PHP might not be installed correctly, do you know what file that referances, so i can check to see if it exists?

[Daniel0]

Ahhh... you must be using PHP4... const is for PHP5 only.

"PHP Version 4.3.2" at the very top ;)

Just as i looked at that, i noticed that i was reading the 5.1 build... not the version number, i am using 4.3.2 i guess, what is your recommendation?

well, seeing that PHP 4 is finicky when it comes to OOP in some cases, really your best bet is to simply come up with a naming convention for your const vars and define them within your constructor:
[code]
<?php
class MgMimeType {
  var $BINARY;
  var $DWF;
  var $GIF;
  var $JPEG;

  // then, initiate values for them within your constructor
  function MgMimeType() {
    $this->BINARY = "application/octet-stream";
    $this->DWF = "model/vnd.dwf";
    $this->GIF = "image/gif";
    $this->JPEG = "image/jpeg";
  }
}
?>
[/code]

hope this helps

I actually started to install PHP5.1 a few minutes ago.  I figured it was the easiest way to fix the problem... Turns out i get a new error.

I think its a setting in the PHP.ini file, have u ever seen this before?
