config.inc.php中的变量

I have a filemanager that uses a config.inc.php file. I'm wondering how to use a predefined variable in this file, but i have no idea how.

I would like to know how this syntax is called and how i can use a variable.

;<?php/* do not delete this line!
[FTP]

; FTP access; leave empty to use local file system instead
ftpHost = "127.0.0.1"   ; FTP server name
ftpUser = "test"        ; FTP user name
ftpPassword = "test"    ; FTP password
ftpPort = 21            ; FTP port number (default is 21)
ftpPassiveMode = yes    ; use passive mode
ftpSSL = no             ; use FTPS 
                        ; do not delete this line! */?>

It looks like an INI file that is protected by PHP tags and readed with parse_ini_file

add after:

ftpSSL = no             ; use FTPS 

this:

customVar = "var"       ; custom variable

You can add other variables but I don't think you can assign one from outside.

Have a look at the parse_ini_file function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php

This will convert the input file to an array which can be easily queried.

For example:

$ini = parse_ini_file("config.inc.php");
print_r($ini);
