Common constants file for multiple projects

Hi friends,

I have many projects in my htdocs folder. These projects have many common constants and are repeated in each constant folder, I want to have a common constant file for all the projects to use. How can I achieve so?

Thanks!

Place the file in an include folder and then include it in your projects.

Thanks! I put a regular php file in the config folder and in the rest of my projects (begining of the constant file) I put this line

PHP Code:

include_once((isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) ? $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] : 'C:/xampp/htdocs')."/schoowl/application/config/constantes_globales.php"); 


It works fine. The only drawback is that autocomplete doesn't work in the other projects, I use zend studio 12.5

Try it this way and see if autoload will work:

PHP Code:

include_once(APPPATH."config/constantes_globales.php"); 


This means that index.php has to run before calling the include file.

I guess my code does run after the index.php because I placed the include in the constant files and the constant files load after the index file right?

Everything loads from the index.php, index.php is like CI front controller.

I place all my constants at the bottom of CI's constants.php file this way there all in one place.
