Configuration::ezcConfigurationIniReader

Class ezcConfigurationIniReader

ezcConfigurationIniReader provides functionality for reading INI files into ezcConfiguration objects.

Typical usage is to create the reader object and pass the filepath in the constructor:

$reader = new ezcConfigurationIniReader( "settings/site.ini" );
$reader->load();

That makes the class figure out the location and name values automatically.

Or generally use the init() function:

$reader = new ezcConfigurationIniReader();
$reader->init( "settings", "site" );
$reader->load();

Accessing the configuration object is done by the getConfig() method or by using the return value of load():

$conf1 = $reader->load();
$conf2 = $reader->getConfig();
// $conf1 and $conf2 points to the same object

If caching is employed the getTimestamp() method can be used to find the last modification time of the file.

$time = $reader->getTimestamp();
if ( $time > $cachedTime )
{
$reader->load();
}

Options can be set with the setOptions() method. The only option that this reader supports is the "useComments" option:

$reader->setOptions( array( 'useComments' => true ) );

Instead of loading the INI file it can be validated with validate(), this will return an ezcConfigurationValidationResult which can be inspected and presented to the end user.

$result = $reader->validate();
if ( !$result->isValid )
{
foreach ( $result->getResultList() as $resultItem )
{
print $resultItem->file . ":" . $resultItem->line . ":" .
$resultItem->column. ":";
print " " . $resultItem->details . "\n";
}
}

For more information on file based configurations see ezcConfigurationFileReader.

This class uses exceptions and will throw them when the conditions for the operation fails somehow.

Methods

getSuffix

string getSuffix( )

Returns 'ini'. The suffix used in the storage filename.

Redefinition of:

Method	Description
`ezcConfigurationReader::getSuffix()`	Returns the suffix used in the storage filename.

load

ezcConfiguration load( )

Loads a configuration object

Loads the current config object from a give location which can later be stored with a ezcConfigurationWriter.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcConfigurationNoConfigException`	if there is no config object to be read from the location.
`ezcConfigurationInvalidSuffixException`	if the current location values cannot be used for reading.
`ezcConfigurationReadFailureException`	if the configuration could not be read from the given location.

Redefinition of:

Method	Description
`ezcConfigurationReader::load()`	Loads the current config object.

validate

ezcConfigurationValidationResult validate( [bool $strict = false] )

Validates the configuration.

Validates the configuration at the given location and returns the validation result.

If $strict is set it will not validate the file if it contains any errors or warnings. If false it will allow warnings but not errors.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$strict`	bool
