Echo in an include?
I have no idea if this is possible...
I have this
<?php include ('header.php') ?>And this
<?php
// Valid constant names
define("URL", "http://localhost/");
define("IMAGE", "http://localhost/images");
?> How can I echo the constant in the include code?
This is what I tried but it didn't work.
<?php include (echo URL header.php) ?>Is this possible? I want the include to be an exact file name without having to type in http://localhost everytime.

Geez, I'm retarded. You have to connect to the include file where the constant is before you can USE the constant.
Nevermind, I figured out a different solution.

As you are including the file, do what ever needs to be done in it (including echo), so the include is the result as well.
Depending what your intentions are you should also look at require and/or include/require_once

It is simple.
Can't you just do
<?phpinclude(URL.'header.php');
?>
That should work
