I don't recognize this something(__SOMETHING__) format. I know what it's
doing but I don't know how it's doing it.

The whole thing is "$fdf_dir=dirname(__FILE__).'/results';" and of course
it's setting that var $fdf_dir to the path to a file.

Is there something significant about the double underscores "__"?

Why the parentheses, it's not a function?

Sorry lame question but I don't know this.

Thanks
