Using global variables in CakePHP Shell scripts

Question

Using CakePHP's shell scripts I'm having problems accessing constants, which I normally set within config/bootstrap.php.

Is this because using shell scripts I'm not going through the normal dispatcher routine? What's the best practice for defining constants across shell scripts?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Just confirming that you're setting your constants using the 'define' keyword?

This works for sure. Can you show us some code to get an idea of what you are doing?
