Simple configuration class for PHP with support for cascading file system.

Installation

Either copy the Konfig.php class or add this to composer.json:

 require {
 	"laurent22/konfig": "dev-master"
 }

Usage

Each config files is a simple PHP file that returns an associative array. For example:

return array(
	'host' => '127.0.0.1',
	'port' => '6543',
	'user' => 'dbadmin',
	'password' => '123456',
);

Assuming this kind of file structure:

config/
	dev/
		database.php
		default.php
	live/
		database.php
		default.php

The following can be used to load the config files:

// Always load the live environment
Konfig::addLookupFolder('config/live');

// But allow overriding the values if we are in development environment:
if (ENV == 'dev') Konfig::addLookupFolder('config/dev');

Then to access the values:

$dbHost = Konfig::get('database', 'host');

$fullDbConfig = Konfig::getGroup('database');

The relevant files are loaded only as needed (if they are not used, nothing gets loaded).
