That's about it for the moment. In this article, I introduced you to the patConfiguration class, which is designed primarily to assist you in the reading, writing and manipulation of configuration data. I showed you how to read and write configuration files in both XML and PHP format, and how to use patConfiguration's built-in methods simplify and speed up configuration tool development, and improve performance by caching frequently-accessed configuration data. If you'd like to learn more about patConfiguration and its related tools, you should take a look at the following links: The official patConfiguration Web site, at http://www.php-tools.de/ Web-based application development with patTemplate, at http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/TemplateBased-Web-Development-With-patTemplate-part-1/ patConfiguration API documentation, at http://www.php-tools.de/site.php?&file=patConfigurationDocApi.xml Extending patConfiguration, at http://www.php-tools.de/site.php?&file=patConfigurationDocExtensions.xml Till next time...ciao! Note: All examples in this article have been tested on Linux/i586 with PHP 4.2.3, Apache 1.3.23 and patConfig 1.3. Examples are illustrative only, and are not meant for a production environment.
