You can also set database connection values for specific <a href="../libraries/config.html">environments</a> by placing <strong>database.php</strong> it the respective environment config folder.</p> - -<p>The config settings are stored in a multi-dimensional array with this prototype:</p> - -<code>$db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost";<br /> -$db['default']['username'] = "root";<br /> -$db['default']['password'] = "";<br /> -$db['default']['database'] = "database_name";<br /> -$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br /> -$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";<br /> -$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;<br /> -$db['default']['db_debug'] = FALSE;<br /> -$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;<br /> -$db['default']['cachedir'] = "";<br /> -$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";<br /> -$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";<br /> -$db['default']['swap_pre'] = "";<br /> -$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;<br /> -$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;</code> - -<p>The reason we use a multi-dimensional array rather than a more simple one is to permit you to optionally store -multiple sets of connection values. If, for example, you run multiple environments (development, production, test, etc.) -under a single installation, you can set up a connection group for each, then switch between groups as needed. -For example, to set up a "test" environment you would do this:</p> - -<code>$db['test']['hostname'] = "localhost";<br /> -$db['test']['username'] = "root";<br /> -$db['test']['password'] = "";<br /> -$db['test']['database'] = "database_name";<br /> -$db['test']['dbdriver'] = "mysql";<br /> -$db['test']['dbprefix'] = "";<br /> -$db['test']['pconnect'] = TRUE;<br /> -$db['test']['db_debug'] = FALSE;<br /> -$db['test']['cache_on'] = FALSE;<br /> -$db['test']['cachedir'] = "";<br /> -$db['test']['char_set'] = "utf8";<br /> -$db['test']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";<br /> -$db['test']['swap_pre'] = "";<br /> -$db['test']['autoinit'] = TRUE;<br /> -$db['test']['stricton'] = FALSE;</code> - - -<p>Then, to globally tell the system to use that group you would set this variable located in the config file:</p> - -<code>$active_group = "test";</code> - -<p>Note: The name "test" is arbitrary. It can be anything you want. By default we've used the word "default" -for the primary connection, but it too can be renamed to something more relevant to your project.</p> - -<h3>Active Record</h3> - -<p>The <a href="active_record.html">Active Record Class</a> is globally enabled or disabled by setting the $active_record variable in the database configuration file to TRUE/FALSE (boolean). If you are not using the active record class, setting it to FALSE will utilize fewer resources when the database classes are initialized.</p> - -<code>$active_record = TRUE;</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> that some CodeIgniter classes such as Sessions require Active Records be enabled to access certain functionality.</p> - -<h3>Explanation of Values:</h3> - -<ul> -<li><strong>hostname</strong> - The hostname of your database server. Often this is "localhost".</li> -<li><strong>username</strong> - The username used to connect to the database.</li> -<li><strong>password</strong> - The password used to connect to the database.</li> -<li><strong>database</strong> - The name of the database you want to connect to.</li> -<li><strong>dbdriver</strong> - The database type. ie: mysql, postgres, odbc, etc. Must be specified in lower case.</li> -<li><strong>dbprefix</strong> - An optional table prefix which will added to the table name when running <a href="active_record.html">Active Record</a> queries. This permits multiple CodeIgniter installations to share one database.</li> -<li><strong>pconnect</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether to use a persistent connection.</li> -<li><strong>db_debug</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether database errors should be displayed.</li> -<li><strong>cache_on</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether database query caching is enabled, see also <a href="caching.html">Database Caching Class</a>.</li> -<li><strong>cachedir</strong> - The absolute server path to your database query cache directory.</li> -<li><strong>char_set</strong> - The character set used in communicating with the database.</li> -<li><strong>dbcollat</strong> - The character collation used in communicating with the database. <p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> For MySQL and MySQLi databases, this setting is only used as a backup if your server is running PHP < 5.2.3 or MySQL < 5.0.7 (and in table creation queries made with DB Forge). There is an incompatibility in PHP with mysql_real_escape_string() which can make your site vulnerable to SQL injection if you are using a multi-byte character set and are running versions lower than these. Sites using Latin-1 or UTF-8 database character set and collation are unaffected.</p></li> -<li><strong>swap_pre</strong> - A default table prefix that should be swapped with <var>dbprefix</var>. This is useful for distributed applications where you might run manually written queries, and need the prefix to still be customizable by the end user.</li> -<li><strong>autoinit</strong> - Whether or not to automatically connect to the database when the library loads. If set to false, the connection will take place prior to executing the first query.</li> -<li><strong>stricton</strong> - TRUE/FALSE (boolean) - Whether to force "Strict Mode" connections, good for ensuring strict SQL while developing an application.</li> -<li><strong>port</strong> - The database port number. To use this value you have to add a line to the database config array.<code>$db['default']['port'] = 5432;</code> -</ul> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Depending on what database platform you are using (MySQL, Postgres, etc.) -not all values will be needed. For example, when using SQLite you will not need to supply a username or password, and -the database name will be the path to your database file. The information above assumes you are using MySQL.</p> - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="examples.html">Quick Start: Usage Examples</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="connecting.html">Connecting to your Database</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
