I am creating a simple php code to get a date.

<?php $today = date('l \t\h\e jS');
define('TODAY','$today');

echo 'Today is '.TODAY.'' ;

?>

The above code does not work.

I am planing to get the value for $today variable in define function.

I can however do it simple way by just replacing TODAY in " echo 'Today is '.TODAY.'' ; " with $today..

But i want to know what variable is not working inside the define constant.

is that illegal ?

Do not quote the variable, and don't use single-quotes for the constant:

define("TODAY", $today); 

[lucifurious]

And you shouldn't be using define anyway. Class constants my boy!
