Well, problem about configure config.php

[xiaodao]

i have seen many scripts with backend where you can enter all the values for ceteratin variables for example "background" and "site title" and many many more for your scripts
i just wonder how to do that, is it you chmd config.php to 777, then try to do something there. basically, i outruled database like mysql, i think it is a kind of abuse of resource to conncet to database just to enquire some variables value only
anybody any idea? thanks very much

Hey,

what exactly is your question? How you can code the config.php, so that the config-variables are available to you, or how you can alter the config.php via the backend?

1) The file config.php just has declarations like

$background = "#FFFFFF";
$title = "My website";


With include("path/to/config.php"); you can then use those variables in files where you need them.

2) Have a look at file-altering functions like, fwrite, fputs, fread, fopen, fclose. That should help you.
