This is what i have:

    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'someuser'); //or put you admin
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'somepassword');
    define('DB_DATABASE', $databasename');

I want the $databasename thing to load some text from a textfile in the same directory Let's call it textfile.txt

How would i do this so it would work, tried several different things but it still doesn't work. I guess i'm missing some stuff.

Sounds a little dangerous, but I guess if your text file simply had a database name in it and nothing else:

$databasename = file_get_contents('textfile.txt');

would probably do it.

That's what i tried first and it gives errors: T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING That's what made me get stuck, don't understand it.

sounds like you have a stray ' or " or } or something in your code.

    define('DB_DATABASE', $databasename');

If you copied this directly from your code, that might be the culprit.

Yeah, the extra ' was too much but that didn't help much. I forgot that i was using includes and stuff so now i did:

$databasename  = file_get_contents($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/textfile.txt');

And now it works just fine, God i hate programming!
