Best place for loading web app settings from database

Hi scion,

I did that for a project one day.

I created a config_model, and extended the CI_Controller with my own controller (in the core folder C.F. MY_Controller)

see http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/ge...asses.html

PHP Code:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {

        protected $config;
        public function __construct()
        {
                parent::__construct();
                // load your config_model
                $config = $this->config_model->getConfig();
        }
} 


after that, $config can be accessible by a $this->config if your controller extend MY_Controller and not CI_Controller

i'm agree with josepostiga. "DON'T TOUCH THE SYSTEM'S FOLDER !!!!!"
