Config - .ini config file manager for PHP
This library provides the ability to create, read/load into memory, and write configuration files in the .ini format.
Install
To install with composer:
composer require truecastdesign/config
Requires PHP 5.5 or newer.
Usage
Here's a basic usage example:
Create config file in the format:
; MySQL database config
config_title = 'mysql'
type = 'mysql'
hostname = 'localhost'
username = 'root'
password = 'password'
database = 'dbname'
port = 3306
persistent = true
emulate_prepares = false
compress = true
charset = 'utf8'
buffer = true
<?
# composer autoloader
require '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';
# load in needed config files into Config object
$TAConfig = new \Truecast\Config('/path/to/config/mysql.ini'); # standard path: __DIR__.'/../app/config/mysql.ini'
# can load multiple config files at once with a comma between. Example: '/path/to/config/mysql.ini, /path/to/config/site.ini'
Accessing Config Values
The "config_title" in the config file is the keyword you use to access that config file. To access one of the other values you would use a sub object key.
echo $TAConfig->mysql->username; # this would output the string "root" using the above config file.
To use sections within a config file you use square brackets around the section title.
Example:
config_title="items"
[secion_title]
name="The Name"
version="1.0"
date="2017-02-12"
show=true
sort=2
[secion_title_two]
name="The Name"
version="1.0"
date="2017-02-12"
show=true
sort=2
These section values can be accessed by adding an extra object level using the section title when getting the value.
Example:
echo $TAConfig->items->secion_title_two->version;
