<html>
<body>
<?
   if (define ("DIE", 99)) {
      echo ("--DIE-- is not internally defined"); 
      echo ("<br>So, I defined it as 99 and it now becomes :");
      echo DIE;
   } else {
      echo ("--DIE-- is already defined internally as: ");
      echo DIE;
   }
</html>
</body>
---------------------------
Output turns out to be
--DIE-- is not internally defined
So, I defined it as 99 and it now becomes :1
---------------------------

If I change the constant name to something else other than
DIE, it will be OK.

If you use DIE after you defined it in other ways
without checking the return value of define(),
it'll hang.

die is a keyword (pre-defined function name). DO't use it as a variable name.
