Hi, Michael, thank you for your reply.
What I mean about "dynamic variables" is:
let's say that I have a variable like *$log_path = "/var/log/$site" *to
specify the log path for different applications
that run on the same host. Thus, depending on the value of $site
variable, the $log_path variable will be different.
If I put that in a class, it will be evaluated for the first value of $site
called, right? or am I missing something?
I hope, that I could clarify. :)
Gus
