    <p>I am kind of new to PHP OOP, but I have a fairly decent understanding of the concepts behind OO. I want to have a config file that has general application data that can be used from throughout the entire application. Pretty normal but I am not exactly sure how to do this. I don't want to create a class and then have require that class, extend it and or require the config file in every class. My config file looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $configs = array( 'pagination' =&gt; 20, 'siteTitle' =&gt; 'Test site', 'description' =&gt; 'This is a test description', 'debug' =&gt; true ); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The only thing that I can think of to do for this is the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php class user { public function __construct() { require 'config.php'; if(configs['debug']) { echo 'Debugging mode'; } } } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem I see with this method is that I would have to manually include this config file in every class I want to use which seems redundant. Ideally I would like to include the file in the absolute root path and then be able to use any of the values from within any class however if you simply require a file outside of the class the class will not have access to the values. I also don't want to create a config class and then every class that needs the values have them extend the config class. Again that seems redundant. </p> <p>Not sure if I'm making much sense I just want an easy way to carry config values throughout every class and use them without having to type overly redundant code.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
