application.cfm equivalent in php 1

[psteja2000]

Hi,

out of hte blue, I am given an assignment of converting a coldfusion site to php. I am trying to do it with least effort from myside as possible. There are a bunch of constants we have in application.cfm, how do I convert them to php?

Should I declare them all in a php page and "require" it in every php page?

regards,
Teja

i don't think php has an application.cfm equivalent. so yes my solution would be to create a file similar so your application.cfm and include it in each file manually. ASP does this with a global.asa file. if i were you i'd post a question in the PHP forum asking if php has a global.asa or application.cfm equivalent for a better answer.

Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.

You can also use the auto_prepend_file directive to prevent the need to manually include the file.

You would either need to put that directive in an htaccess file or contact your host to see if they can set it up for you, depending on the server setup.

Hope this helps
