About

A simple configuration script to store values in an array, and return them using public static functions!

Got an email recently about this repository--its all but defunct and no longer necessary. A better approach would be to use .env variables. Check out this project here--and be sure to include .env to your .gitignore.

Usage

Ensure you have at least PHP version 5.4;

Require or include the class file:

require 'vendor/Config.php';

Create your configuration array:

Config::init([
	'username' => 'user',
	'password' => 'password',
	'hostname' => 'localhost',
	'dbname'   => 'test',
	'database' => [
	    'hostname' => 'localhost',
	    'username' => 'username',
	    'password' => 'test',
	    'port' => 3306
    ]
]);

Then do stuff with your values:

Config::get('username'); // contains 'user'

Or for multidimensional (init) arrays:

Config::$instance->database{'password'}; // contains 'password'

Classes

There are 5 classes of note, they are: set, get, ret, init, and update.

---

Set

public static function set($key, $val) {
  self::$config[$key] = $val;
}

Enables you to set a single key value pair.

Config::set('username', 'zQueal');

---

Get

public static function get($key) {
	self::$config[$key];
}

Enables you to 'test' a single key pair value. Config::get() will not longer return a value. See Config::ret().

if(Config::get('username') == $value){
	doStuff();
}

---

Return

public static function ret($key) {
  print self::$config[$key];
}

Returns (print) a single key pair value.

Config::ret('username'); // returns stored value

---

Init

public static function init($a) {
  self::$config = $a;
  self::$instance = new Config();
}

Enables you to set multiple key value pairs in a single function, and create multidimensional values.

Config::init([
	'username' => 'username',
	'password' => 'password',
	'directory' => '/home/zqueal',
	'about' => [
		'name' => 'Zach Q',
		'email' => '[email protected]',
		'color' = 'blue'
	]
]);

Once your function call has been executed, all the variables will be able to be used in the rest of your script / application. To call a single (top nested) key value pair, use the Config::get('directory'); // contains /home/zqueal static function call. If you're trying to access a nested key value pair, then you need to use the static object method Config::$instance->about{'name'} // returns 'Zach Q'.

---

Update

public static function update($a) {
	self::$config = array_merge(self::$config, $a);
}

A function to update already created values.

Config::set('name', 'Zach Q');
Config::ret('name'); // returns 'Zach Q'
Config::update('name', 'Other Name');
Config::ret('name'); // returns 'Other Name'
