Question

I require a file in my PHP file

require('config.local.php');

that contains the database credentials but it doesn’t allow me to use some variables because of

if ( !defined('AREA') ) { die('Access denied'); }

How can I pass this and access the variables instead of forcing people to add their database login/password?

Thank you.

If the condition is located in the config.local.php file, then simply define ‘AREA’ with a null value before you call require(‘config.local.php’), like this:

define('AREA', null);
