<rant> Honestly, do you read the error messages or do you just post them to the list? You need to stop using us for the easy answer and do a little looking yourself. For example... when I see that error, I'm going to ask my self "why is PHP thinking ab is a constant?" Do I mean it to be a constant? If so, I must of forgot to define() it somewhere. If it's not supposed to be a constant, what is it supposed to be? An integer... well a and b don't make very good integers, so probably not. It's supposed to be a string, right? So why is PHP thinking it's a constant? At this point, if I didn't know what was going on, I'd go to the manual and read the chapter on variable types and the sections on constants and strings... to learn what the difference is. I'll guarantee that if you actually read those sections, you'd realize... on your own... (imagine that) that strings have to be surrounded by quotes... either single or double (the section will even explain the difference). So now you'd know the answer, you found it yourself, you maybe learned a few other things as you read, and I bet you would have gotten your answer a lot faster than waiting for answers on a mailing list... </rant> ---John W.
