notice开发者_开发百科: Constant DB_NAME already defined in C:\wamp\www\ssiphone\ss-config.php on line 15

THX for help :)

You might be using include or require instead of include_once or require_once.

If the file where DB_NAME is declared is being included more than once it would throw that error. Otherwise you may just have multiple declarations in your code.

I think you've used, include or require to include the file and the file may contain constant value. Replace with,

require_once("FILE_PATH");

or

include_once("FILE_PATH");

It means exactly what it says. You're defining a Constant called DB_NAME, and then trying to define it a second time. Look for this in files that you're including, which you should only be including once.... because my guess would be that you're defining in an included file.
