PHP Miscellaneous Function

This document discusses several PHP functions: - define() defines constants that cannot be changed and do not require a leading $ like variables. - constant() returns the value of a defined constant. - include() and require() include other PHP files, with require() producing a fatal error if the file is not found. - header() sends HTTP headers, which must be called before any output. - die() prints a message and exits the current script, serving as an alias for exit().

Constant names do not need a leading dollar sign
($)
Constant values can only be strings and numbers

Syntax & Example

define(name,value,case_insensitive)

<?php
define("GREETING","Hello you! How are you
today?");
echo constant("GREETING");
?>

define("GREETING","Hello you! How are you
today?",TRUE);
echo constant("greeting");
?>
