Constant CURRENCY_SYMBOL = 262145 predefined

[sholahan]

I just installed xampp 1.6.7 for linux. Now in my site I defined CURRENCY_SYMBOL as
define(CURRENCY_SYMBOL, "$");

But when I display the value it is 262145. I made a test page that just did a display of CURRENCY_SYMBOL, with defining it and it still displayed 262145. So it looks like xamp is defining this value but I can not find it.

I also have xamp 1.6.7 for windows installed on another machine which works fine.

Any one have any idea?

thank you.

CURRENCY_SYMBOL is a predefined PHP constant.

That is what I thought, but I did not understand why it is predefined in linux and not in windows xampp. Would you know why it is set to 262145.

Not all PHP functions are availible on all OS.

Why not?
--> if you need the the value 262145 as parameter for a function, it's easier to rember e.g. the constant name "CURRENCY_SYMBOL" then the integer "262145".

Thank you for the info.
