Read and write configuration files the format ini with Zend_Config

1. Read ini file.

 I have a configuration file /application/configs/db.ini as follows:

[information] webhost =www.example.com database.adapter =pdo_mysql database.params.host =localhost database.params.username=root database.params.password=root database.params.dbname =zftraining [data:information] webhost =www.example.com database.adapter =pdo_mysql database.params.host =localhost database.params.username=root1 database.params.password=root database.params.dbname =zftraining

We use the class to read file Zend_Config_Ini db.ini
public function indexAction(){ $filename = CONFIG_PATH . '/db.ini'; $section = 'infomation'; $config = new Zend_Config_Ini($filename, $section); echo '<pre>'; print_r($config->toArray()); echo '</pre>'; echo '<br>' . $config->webhost; echo '<br>' . $config->database->adapter; echo '<br>' . $config->database->params->username; echo '<br><hr>'; }

Output:
Array ( [webhost] => www.example.com [database] => Array ( [adapter] => pdo_mysql [params] => Array ( [host] => localhost [username] => root [password] => root [dbname] => zftraining ) ) ) www.example.com pdo_mysql root

2.Write ini file

public function writeIniAction(){ $data = array( 'global'=>array( 'smtp'=>array( 'parameters'=>array( 'host' => "smtp.example.com", 'port' => "587", 'username' => "jeky11", 'password' => "hyd3", 'security' => "tls", ) ) ), 'data'=>array( 'version' => "1.1" ) ); $config = new Zend_Config_Writer_Ini(); $config->setNestSeparator('::'); $filename = CONFIG_PATH . '/my01.ini'; $objConfig = new Zend_Config($data); $config->write($filename,$objConfig); }

My01.ini output file:

[global] smtp::parameters::host = "smtp.example.com" smtp::parameters::port = "587" smtp::parameters::username = "jeky11" smtp::parameters::password = "hyd3" smtp::parameters::security = "tls" [data] version = "1.1"
