own CONSTANT?

If you don't want to or can't use a database, you could always manually include() a "temp_constant.php" file at the bottom of /application/config/constants.php. Then in the admin, have a field where the admin can change the value. If the value changes, recreate the define() in the temp_constant.php file. The temp_constant.php file would just be:

Code:

<?php
//important so people can't directly access the variable!
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
define('NAME_OF_CONSTANT', value);

which should be fairly simple to create and write the file with php.

Code:

file_put_contents(path_to_temp_constant.php, $string_containing_the_above_code);
