Greetings everybody,
Now that my finals are over, the first set of changes are going to be underway for the DB-based configuration mechanisms.
The one major change that needs to put into the existing code revolves around how we deal with the configuration variable names.
Presently in config.inc.php3 we have some code like this: $cfgServers[$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfgServerDefault = 1; etc.
For writing the configuration mechanism, I would like to move everything to an array such as $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1;
Instead, and then I can implement the entire configuration mechanism transparently inside a library function, that is called at startup to handle anything that needs to be done.
Unfortunetly, there are ~760 instances of '$cfg', so this change is going to take a while, and ideally we would want to have this change well settled and in place to implement the configuration mechanism, as it _WILL_ break things if it is only partially implemented.
Is somebody else willing to help me on this?
