PHP GLOBALS configuration file provider
This data provider for the dc-general load and store the
data in the PHP $GLOBALS
array, using a single php file.
DCA Usage example
Output example
The produces file look like this:
Namespace and key name patterns
Compromise the $GLOBALS
array directly is no good idea at all. You can use a custom namespace, which define a
path inside of the $GLOBALS
array. Each namespace part is separated by /
, e.g. my/dca
which will be
decoded to $GLOBALS['my']['dca']
.
Also you may want to filter properties by their name, this is useful if the provider share a namespace with
another php globals config file provider. The pattern allow you to filter accepted property names.
For example my_*
will only accept and store properties that starts with my_
. Wildcards are allowed through
fnmatch.
Save mode
The data provider has two generation modes.
In diff mode it will read the state before including the config file. This state is supposed as the "default" state. When generating the php file, only values that differ from the "default" view will be included.
In all mode all properties will be stored, regardless of the previous state.
As developer you must respect, that the diff mode only work, if you not include the php file by yourself.
The php file will be automatically loaded through require
in the loading process. In all mode the php will
also be loaded, by through require_once
.
