define our webserver variables

[Guest]

Hi,

 

How do I use these on with IIS5 and what do they do? Is there any benifit?

 

//FS = Filesystem (physical)

// WS = Webserver (virtual)

 

When I try the I get the error "enxpected =" ?

 

Anyone know what the story is with that?

 

Thanks

FS =

(win) c:pathtowhatever

(linux) /usr/local/here/there

 

WS=

 

http://www.myserver/mydir/myfile

I tried that before and it said I can't have the '=' in the statment. I just spits an error. :(

[mattice]

where do you have the need for an "=" in the examples then?

Don't understand you....

 

define('WHATEVER', 'value');

 

where value needs to be 'escaped' ie

Who's needs to be written as Who's

No, I don't understand your example

// WS = Webserver (virtual)

I changed that to:

WS = Webserver (virtual) and I got the error.

 

I then tried your code :

FS = c:Inetpubwwwrootadmin

I got the same error.

 

So what your saying is I need to define it like:

define(WS_VIRTUAL, 'http://localhost');

??

 

Is that it?

[mattice]

YES :D

 

anything that has // in front of it is a COMMENT

I understand C++, VB, JS and, believe it or not, forum etiquette, but I never touched pearl until 2 days ago. I know // is a comment just like it is in C. What I really what now that I have the syntax is what does defining those constants do for me? If I don't need to use them to run the app then why are they there?

 

:shock:
