Variables question

Hi to everybody! I need to change the 'defaultLocale' var from a controller, in codeigniter 3 I could do that simply with this line:

$this->config->set_item('language', $lang);

But in Codeigniter4 if try to do this:

config('Config\\App')->defaultLocale = $lang;

The value of the global config don't change...

How can i do this? With the function config() i'm accessing to the global config or to a new instance of config?

Thx!

What do you want to do exactly?
You should not change the defaultLocale, because it is the system default locale.
See https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgnit...on-classes

This tutorial will give you an idea of how its done in CodeIgniter 4, and it works.

The best move would be to add the CodeIgniter Settings official package to your application (https://settings.codeigniter.com/), then you can easily change defaultLocale like this:

PHP Code:

service('settings')->set('App.defaultLocale ', 'fr');
