  I'm looking to set a language definition to draw it's def from the database, but I can't get the syntax. Obviously, I need to have something on my site that is dynamically updated, but since the usual language definitions are hard coded, I'm having a bit of a headache getting this to work.
  
  Basically, I'd like to take
  
  

  Code

  define('_LANGDEF' , 'Language Definition');

  
  
  and have it be
  
  

  Code

  define('_LANGDEF' , '$langDef');

  
  
  where the variable is an SQL statement.
  
  Does this make sense? What am I missing? Would I place the SQL statement in the definition file? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Mark, dont quote the '$langDef' - PHP takes the single quotes to mean a literal string, hence making your define output $langDef.
  
  Other than that, an SQL statement in the lang define file should be fine. You could use module vars to store your lang defines, if there are not very many.
  
  What's wrong with using the system normally? ;)
