Good day...mmmm this question/method is a bit strange I think, however


If I have a .txt file containing constants. Can this file be written to with new values for the existing constants within the same session?

Objective is to:

> have the txt file as a global include
> give the user a form to alter the values
> when the form is submitted re-write the .txt file
> hopefully the new values will be present????

Am I correct in assuming other users will only need to refresh a page to also get the new values??

TYIA

Unless you actually stored those values in Session variables, yes, a refresh is all that is needed.

You used "within a session" in your subject, so I'm a little nervous that you read the values from the text file once (say in a login page?) and store them in session variables. If that's the case, then you'd have to have some way of "noticing" the change. But if you mean everything is done via #include's, then you're fine.

Thank you for your reply. I was just not sure about the ability to chnage the value of a constant the way I had described...
