Re: Re: Config files: what is best? (was: Re: [PHP] XML... Useful or another layer of complexity?)

Hello Peter, Thanks a lot! And is there a way to set (write) custom values in files other than php.ini? Sorry, didn't find such a function. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ------------ Original message ------------ From: Peter Lind <peter.e.lind@gmail.com> To: Andre Polykanine Date created: , 10:44:31 PM Subject: [PHP] Re: Config files: what is best?

For config files I would suggest plain text config files - in the style of key = value php has built-in functions for reading those, so parsing them is very fast and easy.
