Get a variable value inside a config file from MyController?

[eluser]chefnelone[/eluser]
Hello,

I'd like to know if is there a way to do this:

In: application/library/My_controller.php I have:

Code:

$this->myVariable ='my value';

Then, I need to get myVariable from within: applicaction/config/carabinier.php

something like:

Code:

$config['myVariable'] = ? //should get $this->myVariable

thanks

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do here, but isn't that backwards? Don't you usually set values in the config file and then access them in controllers/models?

You're right but I need that a value in a config file take its value from a database. So, I took it in My_controller and I just need to pass it to a config file.

Why don't you just dynamically set the config variable in your MY_Controller using

Code:

$this->config->set_item('item_name', 'item_value');

Good idea... but not working

i have in config/carabiner.php:

Code:

$config['dev'] = FALSE;

Then as you said i added to MY_Controller

Code:

this->config->set_item('dev', FALSE );

But it's just ignored
What's am I missing??
