what is happening now is this. I definemy constants in code1.php but I can
not reference them in my main code.
<code1.php>
//define my constant
define("mName", "My name");
<end of page>
<page1.php>
require_once(code1.php);
echo mName;
//prints "mName" - should print "My name"
What do I change - Many many thanks!
