I am currently working with a server that seems not to support php constants like _FILE_ and _LINE_. How did they manage this? I can't find anything using phpinfo() that would tell me why they aren't working.

I have a class that uses a configuration file that must reside in the directory with the class not the file that includes the class. _FILE_ would have been useful. I can use dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME")] but I would like to know how and why the magic constants aren't working.

[PHP]
$home = _FILE_;
echo(_FILE_);
[/PHP]

Simply doesn't work. Output is just
_FILE_

That would probably be because there is no _FILE_ or _LINE_ or any other _XXX_ constant.

However, there is __FILE__, __LINE__, etc...

Two underscores. Ooops. Thanks for the tip. Don't know how I missed that.

I do, hiccups like that happen to me all the time, hours of ripping one's hair out "It must work, why doesn't it work?", hours of Googling, then eventually posting a thread here or elsewhere, only to find out that the solution was THAT SIMPLE.

Plus point is, you'll never make that mistake again.
