>&#13;    PHP provides a large number of predefined constants to any script
    which it runs. Many of these constants, however, are created by
    various extensions, and will only be present when those extensions
    are available, either via dynamic loading or because they have
    been compiled in.
   </P
><P
>&#13;    There are four magical constants that change depending on
    where they're used.  For example, the value of
    <TT
CLASS="constant"
><B
>__LINE__</B
></TT
> depends on the line that it's
    used on in your script.  These special constants are 
    case-insensitive and are as follows:
