# The Factory
|
|
|
|
`Zend\Config\Factory` provides the ability to load configuration files to an
|
|
array or to a `Zend\Config\Config` object. The factory has two purposes
|
|
|
|
- Loading configuration file(s)
|
|
- Storing a configuration file
|
|
|
|
> ## Storage writes to a single file
|
|
>
|
|
> Storing the configuration always writes to a **single** file. The factory is
|
|
> not aware of merged configuration files, and as such cannot split
|
|
> configuration to multiple files. If you want to store particular
|
|
> configuration sections to separate files, you should separate them manually.
|
|
|
|
## Loading configuration files
|
|
|
|
The first example illustrates loading a single configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
// Load a PHP file as array:
|
|
$config = Zend\Config\Factory::fromFile(__DIR__ . '/config/my.config.php');
|
|
|
|
// Load an XML file as Config object; the second parameter, when true,
|
|
// casts the configuration to a Config instance:
|
|
$config = Zend\Config\Factory::fromFile(__DIR__.'/config/my.config.xml', true);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The next example demonstrates merging multiple files; note that they are in
|
|
separate formats!
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$config = Zend\Config\Factory::fromFiles([
|
|
__DIR__.'/config/my.config.php',
|
|
__DIR__.'/config/my.config.xml',
|
|
]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Storing configuration
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you may want to write configuration to a file. To do this, use the
|
|
factory's `toFile()` method:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$config = new Zend\Config\Config([], true);
|
|
$config->settings = [];
|
|
$config->settings->myname = 'framework';
|
|
$config->settings->date = '2012-12-12 12:12:12';
|
|
|
|
//Store the configuration
|
|
Zend\Config\Factory::toFile(__DIR__ . '/config/my.config.php', $config);
|
|
|
|
//Store an array
|
|
$config = [
|
|
'settings' => [
|
|
'myname' => 'framework',
|
|
'data' => '2012-12-12 12:12:12',
|
|
],
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
Zend\Config\Factory::toFile(__DIR__ . '/config/my.config.php', $config);
|
|
```
