note 129279 added to function.parse-ini-file

To make the content available in every corner of you application I use a user defined constant. $SETTINGS. It is initialized like this <?php define( 'SETTINGS", parse_ini_file('settings.ini', true) ); ?> With the proper settings.ini file you can now do stuff like <?php $db = new \PDO( "mysql:host={SETTINGS['db']['host']};dbname={SETTINGS['db']['name']};charset=utf8", SETTINGS['db']['user'], SETTINGS['db']['pass'], [\PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION ] ); ?> Make sure to hide your settings.ini file on a website with for instance <?php <FilesMatch "\.(?:ini|htaccess)$"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> ?> ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.13.131 (proxied: 46.140.241.51) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129279 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129279 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129279 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
