Do the constants "intAdminMemberID" and "intCookieDuration" have to be constants? What are some of the reasons why they should be declared as constants?

The reason I ask is that I would like to run multiple sites using one set of code. By embedding some host checking code within the one config.asp file, this could be accomplished. What do you think?

I think the only rule is that you can never change a constant (hence the name

)

I think I'd still keep them as constants - so there is no chance that a SQL injection problem can pass Admin control to a hacker.

That was the only reason I could think of. I was just wondering if there was any other. I think I can still do what I had planned regarding the multiple site via one set of code.

But they would still need an mLev of 3 anyway.

So all the Snitz code checks mlev and if you are Super Admin ? .. cool.
