Write a regular Windows .ini file like: ; My INI-file (this is a comment line): key = value key2 = value2 ; It even works with PHP constants (defines) in the ini file key3 = E_ALL Reading it in is simple, use parse_ini_file(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php You can also keep sections in the .ini file such as: ; a section name uses [] [section1] key = value [section2] key = value To write this down is easy, just do a foreach on your associative array and write to a string that you then save into a file if you wish to update the values here.
