Editing a configuration

Create configuration content

There are many ways to create content in your Config object. You can simply pass it an array like it is shown in the example below:

Пример 32-1. Create configuration with array // configuration array $conf = array( 'DB' => array( 'type' => 'mysql', 'host' => 'localhost', 'user' => 'root', 'pass' => 'root' ) ); // Config object $config = new Config(); $root =& $config->parseConfig($conf, 'phparray', array('name' => 'conf')); echo $root->toString('phparray', array('name' => 'conf'));

You can also ask Config to look for a file on your filesystem and try to parse it. You would then do it like this. This example assumes you have a valid XML file:

Пример 32-2. Create configuration with a file // Config object $config = new Config(); $root =& $config->parseConfig('/path/to/file.xml', 'xml'); echo $root->toString('phparray', array('name' => 'conf'));

At the moment, Config can parse XML, PHP arrays, ini files, Apache conf and other generic type of configurations with comments and key-value pairs.

Of course, it is also possible to create the configuration from scratch as shown in the previous section example.
