define function from other files

[Ju-Pao]

Is there a way in PHP to use the define function from another file in another directory in your PHP code?

 

For example my code is in this directory /home/dirA/dirB/dirC/

 

the the define function was from the directory /home/dirA/

                            define('KEYWORD',boi);

 

how can i use it in my code so that if I echo KEYWORD, it will display boi

without putting the define function in my code.

 

thank you guys for your help

What you need to incorporate here is classes, you can have all your defined functions stored in a few scripts/directories then call them at will.  It's too big a topic to explain in one forum post, so what I suggest is that you look for a few tutorials / explanations on the net good luck
