Comment on Using ZEND_Config Part 2 by kanian77

Hi pbijl, The thing was for me to use variables i need in my .ini config file. A problem that made sens at the time while using Zend_Config. I haven’t followed the recent evolutions of the Zend Framework so I don’t know if the issue as any relevance anymore.
Also, now i use symfony, as i have less work to put into thinking the config. It’s just more straightforward for me.
And u are right the solution was kind of convoluted, to say the least
With symfony the yml config is turned into an associative array. U do not access that array directly though, u use a method of the sfConfig object. For example:
the following config file app.yml:

all:
pager:
news_max: 100
tag:
cloud_max: 20

will be transformed into a config_app.yml.php and saved in the cache:
‘/web’,
‘app_search_body_weight’ => 1,
‘app_search_title_weight’ => 2,
‘app_search_tag_weight’ => 3,
‘app_search_results_max’ => 3,
‘app_users_photo_thumbnails_dir_name’ => ‘users_photo_thumbnails’,
‘app_users_photo_thumbnails_prefix’ => ‘thumb_’,
‘app_pager_news_max’ => 100,
‘app_tag_cloud_max’ => 20,
));

You can then access a config value where u need it using :

$max = ($paramsArray['max']) ? $paramsArray['max'] : sfConfig::get(‘app_pager_news_max’);

Then again if u are not using a framework (or using one that doesn’t give support for config management) I suppose using an associative array, as u suggest , would be a good solution.
Do u use any php framework at the time?

If you would like to save have the config changed online, you need to save it back to file I guess….

Hi Riki,
I haven’t tried to save the config back to the file.
Do you have a special reason to do so?

[...] I realise that by using my own object I lose the benefit of all the convenient methods defined in Zend_Conf_Ini, but for such a simple job, I might not feel the difference. Yet I am thinking about extending Zend_Conf_Ini with the method discussed above. I might be worth it. Find out more on the subject here: Using ZEND_Config Part 2 [...]
