Permanently Update Config Items Dynamically - hollax - 03-19-2016
While i was working on a CI project, there was a need to allow user set the value of the config items ( i.e not requesting values from the database). For instance most CMS offers an interface where by you can insert db name, user and password during installation process. This gave birth to a library i created Array Config Writer. check Array Config Writer on Github on git hub.
To use with CI ,
- Download Array Config Writer from Github and extract it under' libraries' folder of your CI project
- Create a new library name the class anything that suits you.
- include the Array_Config_Writer class and your class should extend it
- You can start using the class after loading.
Example usage
PHP Code:
$this->load->library('config_writer', array(
'file' => APPPATH . '/config/config.php' ,
'variable_name' => 'config'
));
$this->config_writer->write('compress_output' , true );
// method chaining
$this->config_writer->write('compress_output' , true )->write('site_name' , 'Example Site');
Viola the config gets updated.
For multi dimensional array like the database
PHP Code:
$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['default']['username'] = 'ola';
PHP Code:
$this->load->library('config_writer', array(
'file' => APPPATH . '/config/database.php' ,
'variable_name' => 'db'
));
$this->config_writer->write( array('default' , 'hostname') , 'my_hostname' )->write( array('default' , 'username') , 'my_username' ) ;
