Kohana's config files look like this.. here is an example of a database config file (simplified)

return array(
    'dbhost' => 'localhost',
    'user'   => 'Tom_Jones'
);

I've also got a CMS which wants the connection details. Whilst the CMS uses a different user (with more rights), I'd like to know the best way to include this file and get the data out of it (so as to not repeat myself for hostname and dbname).

I haven't thought up of any elegant solutions yet and have not yet dug around Kohana to see how it does it. It's late Friday here so it's probably really obvious to everyone except me.

UPDATE

My apologies, I forgot to include that this is using Kohana 3!
