You accidentally wrote define('DB_NAME', mydatabase); without quotes around the database name. What error will occur?
AWordPress will connect to a database named 'mydatabase' anyway
BA PHP syntax error because the string is not quoted
CThe site will load but with missing content
DNo error; PHP treats unquoted text as a constant
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand PHP string syntax

    In PHP, strings must be enclosed in quotes. Missing quotes cause syntax errors.
  2. Step 2: Predict error from unquoted string

    Without quotes, PHP treats mydatabase as a constant, which is undefined, causing a syntax error.
  3. Final Answer:

    A PHP syntax error because the string is not quoted -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Strings need quotes in define() [OK]
Quick Trick: Always quote strings in define() constants [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming PHP auto-quotes strings
  • Thinking WordPress ignores syntax errors
  • Believing site loads with missing quotes
