Php Important Help Needed - Help Please

[coolme52]

i am building a script

i wanna give a feature so that the user can select the feature direct from admin panel so noo need to open the config file and edit it as it can directly be done from admin panel

can some 1 plz tell me how i can do this

[Daniel0]

Store the settings in a database, or make the admin panel edit the config file.

[coolme52]

in a config file

for eg config.php

can u post a code example to do it

If I read your post correctly, what you are asking for can be already done from the admin panel (you wrote?) so why not use the same code to let the user change it - although the concept of any user messing with a configuration variable sounds dangerous.

If I've misinterpreted your post, explain the problem in more detail.

Edit:

No, that wouldn't be a helpful exercise since [b]you[/b] have all the relevant information anyone would use to 'post a code example'.  The online manual has many examples of how to read a file and write to a file.  Why don't you try, and if you're unsuccessful then post your code here for help.

Ill Explain My Question

For Eg

i have a file name settings.php

in that i put a code

$sitename = "My Site Name"

now if the script user wants to change the site name he has to open config.php and edit it

but wat i want is an option in admin panel where it says

Enter Your Site Name :

And wat ever u enter there is saved in the config

i hope u got me now

How else would the right values be read?

In the manual, look at the file open, file read, file write commands.
