How to create a custom yaml config file in Symfony
- by Guillaume Flandre
What I want to do is quite simple: store data in a custom config file that I want to read later on.
I created my file something.yml that I put in the global config directory.
It looks like that:
prod:
test: ok
dev:
test: ko
all:
foo: bar
john: doe
Then I copied the config_handlers.yml and also put it in the config directory and added the following at the top of the file:
config/something.yml:
class: sfDefineEnvironmentConfigHandler
param:
prefix: something_
But if I'm calling sfConfig::get("something_foo"); I keep getting NULL.
What did I do wrong?
I just want to read values, so no need to create a custome config handler, right?
I've read the doc here: http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/19-Mastering-Symfony-s-Configuration-Files even though I'm running 1.4 (I don't think that changed since then).
Edit: Of course I can use sfYaml::load() but I'd like to do things in a better way.
