PHP - Constants
Posted on April 6th, 2009 1 commentA constant in PHP stores a value like a variable but if a Constant is given a value it can’t be changed in the script.
To declare a constant you have to set it out in the following way. Let’s say we wanted to give a chocolate cake a fixed price:
define(’CHOCOLATECAKE’, 1.50);
or even a swiss roll! ummm
define(’SWISSROLL’, 1.25);
If you wanted to use a constant all you have to do is use the name of the Constant such as:
echo CHOCOLATECAKE;
or even:
echo SWISSROLL;
Using these Constants will obviously output the price to the browser. You can use these constants to work out the total cost of both by using Variables and Constants together:
$totalcost = CHOCOLATECAKE + SWISSROLL;
The $totalcost now has a value of 2.75 and subsequently this variable is now of the ‘float’ data type as it’s a decimal number. You can see why PHP is a very good language to build customer order forms etc. You now have a variable that has a value and we can now output this to the browser:
echo “Total cost of your order: £” . $totalcost . “. Thanks for visiting!”;
As you can see you can effectively use constants and variables together!
