[thelist] [PHP] DEFINE Vs $variable..?

Hi all...
I've a 'help me learn' type question..

I've got to do a site in 2 languages...
My first thought was to simply set a session variable for each
language, and then have an include page like this:

if lang == english
then
$textWelome = "Welcome";
else if lang == chinese
then
$textWelome = "Ni Hao";

etc...

However, I've seen sites (PHPMyAdmin springs to mind?) where the
language include uses DEFINE..

What is the difference, and why is one better than the other..?
