+--- Thread: using values from config in the db config file (/showthread.php?tid=14350)
using values from config in the db config file - El Forum - 12-30-2008

I'm trying to centralize the change in configuration information into one file.
I want to set the db configuration along this lines
Code:
$db['default']['database'] = $this->config->item("db_name");When I tried this it tells me that "this" is not available in this context.
Any thoughts on how to do this?

It seems a bit weird to import config settings in a config file. This also means there can only be one database group.
But a way to do it is just to include the one file, get the settings you need and destroy the rest
Code:
include(APPPATH'config/config.php');
$db = $config['db'];
unset($config);using values from config in the db config file - El Forum - 12-30-2008

Thanks that suits my purpose just fine.
