Simple utility for getting constants from configuration files written in PHP.

Installation

To install it, use Composer:

{ "require": { "activecollab/configfile": "~1.0" } }

Usage

If we have a config.example.php file that looks like this:

<?php const ONE = 1; define ('TWO', 2); defined ('THREE') or define('THREE', 3); const THIS_IS_TRUE = true; define ("THIS_IS_FALSE", false); const SINGLE_QUOTED_STRING = 'single'; const DOUBLE_QUOTED_STRING = 'double'; define('FLOAT', 2.25); // Declaration in comment should be ignored define('IGNORE_ME', true); // Same thing about const THIS_SHOULD_BE_IGNORED = true;

and we parse it like this:

<?php use ActiveCollab\ConfigFile\ConfigFile; $config_file = new ConfigFile('config.example.php'); var_dump($config_file->getOptions());

we'll get:

array(8) { ["ONE"]=> int(1) ["TWO"]=> int(2) ["THREE"]=> int(3) ["THIS_IS_TRUE"]=> bool(true) ["THIS_IS_FALSE"]=> bool(false) ["SINGLE_QUOTED_STRING"]=> string(6) "single" ["DOUBLE_QUOTED_STRING"]=> string(6) "double" ["FLOAT"]=> float(2.25) } 

To Do

This library has been created in a bit of a rush, so there are still some things to do:

1. const should be parsed using tokenizer
2. Follow included files using include and require [?]
3. Library should be able to modify and write config files [?]
