The Factory

The factory gives you the ability to load a configuration file to an array or to Zend\Config\Config object. The factory has two purposes

  • Loading configuration file(s)
  • Storing a configuration file

Note

Storing the configuration will be done to one file. The factory is not aware of merging two or more configurations and will not store it into multiple files. If you want to store particular configuration sections to a different file you should separate it manually.

Loading configuration file

//Load a php file as array
$config = Zend\Config\Factory::fromFile(__DIR__.'/config/my.config.php');

//Load a xml file as Config object
$config = Zend\Config\Factory::fromFile(__DIR__.'/config/my.config.xml', true);

For merging multiple configuration files

Storing configuration file

Sometimes you want to store the configuration to a file. Also this is really easy to do
