Good practice for choosing a web configuration file saved in a php file?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Hello I want to save the configuration of my web page in a php file.The idea is the configuration is available regardless of whether there is a connection or not to database. I want to be in php files to more secured even if there is not a file forbidding to read the file (json, txt ...). I need to edit the values or add new ones dynamically through the page rather than scrolling through the files.
To solve my problem I found 2 methods used:
1st to record everything in the form of an array:
<?php return array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root', );
2nd to record everything in a flat-file database, but I do not find one that writes the files in php except: This CodeIgniter Flat-File Database Library
Who can not work alone without CodeIgniter.
Basically, I've come to the second option if I find something similar to the example. The 1st option implies the use of 1 file that will be difficult to service and it is possible to break something when recording. You can also give other options to dynamically change the values and record them.

Probably the best way would be to create a static class which loads the config in the Registry on init. Take a look:
Class Core {
/** @var array $registry Static array for registry variables */
public static $registry = ;
}
Now when you want to load the config, you can just use the Core class:
Core::$registry['config'] = include('./config.php');
And now when you require the config, you can just access the array as follows:
Core::$registry['config'][%your_array_path_for_your_config_item%];
Do know that this can be used for many other things as well, think about saving your dispatches and other runtime variables here as well.
