Where to declare an application-wide variable? - El Forum - 02-13-2010

I want to declare a variable that will be used throughout the application (namely, a $SITE_ID variable that gets pulled from the db from the base_url). Where is the best place to do that in the cascade? Thanks!

Any constants that aren't going to be modified can be specified in constants.php. If you wish to store config variables in a database, you can read them in using the config class http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/config.html
