[TYPO3-english] Accessing extension constant from php script

[Jackie Stallard]

Thanks Sergey but I'm already doing that (sorry should have said that!)

This is the relevant code:

<?php
require_once(PATH_tslib.'class.tslib_pibase.php');

class tx_austcommerge_pi5 extends tslib_pibase {
         var $prefixId      = 'tx_austcommerge_pi5';             // Same 
as class name
         var $scriptRelPath = 'pi5/class.tx_austcommerge_pi5.php'; 
  // Path to this script relative to the extension dir.
         var $extKey        = 'austcom_merge';   // The extension key.

     function main($content,$conf)   {
                 $this->conf=$conf;
                 $this->pi_setPiVarDefaults();
                 $this->pi_loadLL();
                 $this->pi_USER_INT_obj=1;       // Configuring so 
caching is not expected.

 
$confArray=unserialize($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf']['$this->extKey']);

debug($confArray);
debug($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf']);

The first debug statement just displays 'debug'.
The second lists some of the other installed extensions but not 
austcom_merge.
