constant variables accessable everywhere - El Forum - 01-22-2010

Is there a place I can put a "config" file that holds a variables like time and client ID, so that every controller and function in the class has access to?
The project I'm working on is time sensitive and a global time must be the same across the site, and to make my life easier I wanted to create a global config area and not set the time in each function in every controller.
Thanks,

constant variable is kind of an oxy moron hehe :-P
application/constants.php holds pre-defined constants. Why not put your constants in there?
You can also create another php file in the aforementioned application/config directory. Then in your application/config/autoload.php you add your config file name to the $autoload['config'] array.
Code:
$autoload['config'] = array('config, another_config');constant variables accessable everywhere - El Forum - 01-22-2010
