If you open the file using your text -editor you'll see that config items are stored in an array called -$config. - -You can add your own config items to this file, or if you prefer to keep -your configuration items separate (assuming you even need config items), -simply create your own file and save it in config folder. - -.. note:: If you do create your own config files use the same format as - the primary one, storing your items in an array called $config. - CodeIgniter will intelligently manage these files so there will be no - conflict even though the array has the same name (assuming an array - index is not named the same as another). - -Loading a Config File -===================== - -.. note:: - CodeIgniter automatically loads the primary config file - (application/config/config.php), so you will only need to load a config - file if you have created your own. - -There are two ways to load a config file: - -Manual Loading -************** - -To load one of your custom config files you will use the following -function within the :doc:`controller </general/controllers>` that -needs it:: - - $this->config->load('filename'); - -Where filename is the name of your config file, without the .php file -extension. - -If you need to load multiple config files normally they will be -merged into one master config array. Name collisions can occur, -however, if you have identically named array indexes in different -config files. To avoid collisions you can set the second parameter to -TRUE and each config file will be stored in an array index -corresponding to the name of the config file. Example:: - - // Stored in an array with this prototype: $this->config['blog_settings'] = $config - $this->config->load('blog_settings', TRUE); - -Please see the section entitled Fetching Config Items below to learn -how to retrieve config items set this way. - -The third parameter allows you to suppress errors in the event that a -config file does not exist:: - - $this->config->load('blog_settings', FALSE, TRUE); - -Auto-loading -************ - -If you find that you need a particular config file globally, you can -have it loaded automatically by the system. To do this, open the -**autoload.php** file, located at application/config/autoload.php, -and add your config file as indicated in the file. - - -Fetching Config Items -===================== - -To retrieve an item from your config file, use the following function:: - - $this->config->item('item_name'); - -Where item_name is the $config array index you want to retrieve. For -example, to fetch your language choice you'll do this:: - - $lang = $this->config->item('language'); - -The function returns NULL if the item you are trying to fetch -does not exist. - -If you are using the second parameter of the $this->config->load -function in order to assign your config items to a specific index you -can retrieve it by specifying the index name in the second parameter of -the $this->config->item() function. Example:: - - // Loads a config file named blog_settings.php and assigns it to an index named "blog_settings" - $this->config->load('blog_settings', TRUE); - - // Retrieve a config item named site_name contained within the blog_settings array - $site_name = $this->config->item('site_name', 'blog_settings'); - - // An alternate way to specify the same item: - $blog_config = $this->config->item('blog_settings'); - $site_name = $blog_config['site_name']; - -Setting a Config Item -===================== - -If you would like to dynamically set a config item or change an existing -one, you can do so using:: - - $this->config->set_item('item_name', 'item_value'); - -Where item_name is the $config array index you want to change, and -item_value is its value. - -.. _config-environments: - -Environments -============ - -You may load different configuration files depending on the current -environment. The ENVIRONMENT constant is defined in index.php, and is -described in detail in the :doc:`Handling -Environments </general/environments>` section. - -To create an environment-specific configuration file, create or copy a -configuration file in application/config/{ENVIRONMENT}/{FILENAME}.php - -For example, to create a production-only config.php, you would: - -#. Create the directory application/config/production/ -#. Copy your existing config.php into the above directory -#. Edit application/config/production/config.php so it contains your - production settings - -When you set the ENVIRONMENT constant to 'production', the settings for -your new production-only config.php will be loaded. - -You can place the following configuration files in environment-specific -folders: - -- Default CodeIgniter configuration files -- Your own custom configuration files - -.. note:: - CodeIgniter always loads the global config file first (i.e., the one in application/config/), - then tries to load the configuration files for the current environment. - This means you are not obligated to place **all** of your configuration files in an - environment folder. Only the files that change per environment. Additionally you don't - have to copy **all** the config items in the environment config file. Only the config items - that you wish to change for your environment. The config items declared in your environment - folders always overwrite those in your global config files. - - -*************** -Class Reference -*************** - -.. php:class:: CI_Config - - .. attribute:: $config - - Array of all loaded config values - - .. attribute:: $is_loaded - - Array of all loaded config files - - - .. php:method:: item($item[, $index='']) - - :param string $item: Config item name - :param string $index: Index name - :returns: Config item value or NULL if not found - :rtype: mixed - - Fetch a config file item. - - .. php:method:: set_item($item, $value) - - :param string $item: Config item name - :param string $value: Config item value - :rtype: void - - Sets a config file item to the specified value. - - .. php:method:: slash_item($item) - - :param string $item: config item name - :returns: Config item value with a trailing forward slash or NULL if not found - :rtype: mixed - - This method is identical to ``item()``, except it appends a forward - slash to the end of the item, if it exists. - - .. php:method:: load([$file = ''[, $use_sections = FALSE[, $fail_gracefully = FALSE]]]) - - :param string $file: Configuration file name - :param bool $use_sections: Whether config values should be loaded into their own section (index of the main config array) - :param bool $fail_gracefully: Whether to return FALSE or to display an error message - :returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on failure - :rtype: bool - - Loads a configuration file. - - .. php:method:: site_url() - - :returns: Site URL - :rtype: string - - This method retrieves the URL to your site, along with the "index" value - you've specified in the config file. - - This method is normally accessed via the corresponding functions in the - :doc:`URL Helper </helpers/url_helper>`. - - .. php:method:: base_url() - - :returns: Base URL - :rtype: string - - This method retrieves the URL to your site, plus an optional path such - as to a stylesheet or image. - - This method is normally accessed via the corresponding functions in the - :doc:`URL Helper </helpers/url_helper>`. - - .. php:method:: system_url() - - :returns: URL pointing at your CI system/ directory - :rtype: string - - This method retrieves the URL to your CodeIgniter system/ directory. - - .. note:: This method is DEPRECATED because it encourages usage of - insecure coding practices.
