Hi Sean,
What do you mean by 'fails'? As long as you've written an .htaccess rule to
disallow users to view config.php, it should be virtually impossible for a
user who doesn't have access to the web server to read your configuration
file.

What happens when the engine fails and someone sees all the information on this page?

You have really written a wonderful tutorial, which contains just what I need! Thanks for linking every php code to the right page, this time it helped me easily figure the difference between require and require once, and require and include! Which I both did not know before (the differences)
Thanks!

Hi Adam,

Thanks for pointing out parse_ini_file - seeing as we've already done all of our configuration work for now, we probably won't be using it in this project - but it's on my list of things to use for the next one.

I find PHP's parse_ini_file an efficient and very handy method to use for storing configuration as you can split settings up into multiple sections and such as you add more settings.
