How do you like to define your module-wide variables in drupal 6?
- by sprugman
I'm in my module file. I want to define some complex variables for use throughout the module. For simple things, I'm doing this:
function mymodule_init() {
define('SOME_CONSTANT', 'foo bar');
}
But that won't work for more complex structures. Here are some ideas that I've thought of:
global:
function mymodule_init() {
$GLOBALS['mymodule_var'] = array('foo' => 'bar');
}
variable_set:
function mymodule_init() {
variable_set('mymodule_var', array('foo' => 'bar'));
}
property of a module class:
class MyModule {
static $var = array('foo' => 'bar');
}
Variable_set/_get seems like the most "drupal" way, but I'm drawn toward the class setup. Are there any drawbacks to that? Any other approaches out there?
