configsource public static

config( string $name , ConfigReaderInterface $reader )

Add a new reader to Configure. Readers allow you to read configuration files in various formats/storage locations. CakePHP comes with two built-in readers PhpReader and IniReader. You can also implement your own reader classes in your application.

To add a new reader to Configure:

Configure::config('ini', new IniReader());

Parameters

string $name

The name of the reader being configured. This alias is used later to read values from a specific reader.

ConfigReaderInterface $reader

The reader to append.

configuredsource public static

configured( string|null $name null )

Gets the names of the configured reader objects.

Parameters

string|null $name optional null

Name to check. If null returns all configured reader names.

Returns

array
Array of the configured reader objects.

consumesource public static

consume( string $var )

Used to read and delete a variable from Configure.

This is primarily used during bootstrapping to move configuration data out of configure into the various other classes in CakePHP.

Parameters

string $var

The key to read and remove.

Returns

array|null
array|null

deletesource public static

delete( string $var )

Used to delete a variable from Configure.

Usage:

Configure::delete('Name'); will delete the entire Configure::Name
Configure::delete('Name.key'); will delete only the Configure::Name[key]

Parameters

string $var

the var to be deleted

dropsource public static

drop( string $name )

Remove a configured reader. This will unset the reader and make any future attempts to use it cause an Exception.

Parameters

string $name

Name of the reader to drop.

Returns

boolean
Success

dumpsource public static

dump( string $key , string $config 'default' , array $keys array() )

Dump data currently in Configure into $key. The serialization format is decided by the config reader attached as $config. For example, if the 'default' adapter is a PhpReader, the generated file will be a PHP configuration file loadable by the PhpReader.

Usage

Given that the 'default' reader is an instance of PhpReader. Save all data in Configure to the file my_config.php:

Configure::dump('my_config.php', 'default');

Save only the error handling configuration:

Configure::dump('error.php', 'default', array('Error', 'Exception');

Parameters

string $key

The identifier to create in the config adapter. This could be a filename or a cache key depending on the adapter being used.

string $config optional 'default'

The name of the configured adapter to dump data with.

array $keys optional array()

The name of the top-level keys you want to dump. This allows you save only some data stored in Configure.

Returns

boolean
success

Throws

ConfigureException
if the adapter does not implement a dump method.

loadsource public static

load( string $key , string $config 'default' , boolean $merge true )

Loads stored configuration information from a resource. You can add config file resource readers with Configure::config().

Loaded configuration information will be merged with the current runtime configuration. You can load configuration files from plugins by preceding the filename with the plugin name.

Configure::load('Users.user', 'default')

Would load the 'user' config file using the default config reader. You can load app config files by giving the name of the resource you want loaded.

Configure::load('setup', 'default');

If using default config and no reader has been configured for it yet, one will be automatically created using PhpReader

Parameters

string $key

name of configuration resource to load.

string $config optional 'default'

Name of the configured reader to use to read the resource identified by $key.

boolean $merge optional true

if config files should be merged instead of simply overridden

Returns

boolean
False if file not found, true if load successful.

Throws

ConfigureException
Will throw any exceptions the reader raises.
