Write a sample config file like this

<?php

  'db' => 
  array (
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'user' => 'sample_user',
    'pass' => 'sample_pass',
    'port' => 3306,
  ),
  'other' => 
  array (
    'multi' => 
    array (
      'deep' => 
      array (
        'nested' => 'config_value',
      ),
    ),
  ),
);

Instance ConfigManager object

use clagiordano\weblibs\configmanager\ConfigManager;

/**
 * Instance object to read argument file
 */
$config = new ConfigManager("configfile.php");

Check if a value exists into config file

/**
 * Check if a value exists into config file
 */
$value = $config->existValue('app');

Read a simple element from config file

/**
 * Read a simple element from config file
 */
$value = $config->getValue('app');

Access to a nested element from config

/**
 * Access to a nested element from config
 */
$nestedValue = $config->getValue('other.multi.deep.nested');

Change config value at runtime

/**
 * Change config value at runtime
 */
$this->config->setValue('other.multi.deep.nested', "SUPERNESTED");

Save config file with original name (OVERWRITE)

/**
 * Save config file with original name (OVERWRITE) 
 */
$this->config->saveConfigFile();

Or save config file with a different name

/**
 * Save config file with original name (OVERWRITE) 
 */
$this->config->saveConfigFile('/new/file/name/or/path/test.php');

Optionally you can also reload config file from disk after save

/**
 * Optionally you can also reload config file from disk after save
 */
$this->config->saveConfigFile('/new/file/name/or/path/test.php', true);

Load another configuration file without reinstance ConfigManager

/**
 * Load another configuration file without reinstance ConfigManager
 */
$this->config->loadConfig('another_config_file.php');
