When doing complex applications it’s often nice to have some sort of system for handling settings. PHP has a nice function called parse_ini_file which can be used to create a basic but still usable setting file feature. A simple class which loads the configuration file and offers some methods to retrieve the values for a given key is all that’s needed

Zend_Config allows access as an object, or array, and also allows for extendable/overrideable sections:
[live]
db.host = 127.0.0.1
db.password = secret
[dev: live]
db.password =password

The fact that something like this makes it to the front page of DZone makes me laugh and you can tell its entirely based on Clicks (338) but notice there are only 6 up votes. It would be like me writing an article on java.util.Properties, everyone clicking it thinking I might show something worth while, rolling their eyes, and moving on.
