Hi
I am toying with OO approaches to handling INI files. First of all
I am a great believer in NOT reinventing wheels so if something
along the lines I am describing already exists, please let me know.
The general idea is this
I use a MySQL table that has the structure cKeyField, cKeyValue,
cKeyType when creating the oSettings object. I prefer that over the
INI idea, as it's much easier, imo.
Whilst that is also a good approach it does rely on MySQL - which
dependency I would rather not have. Also INI files can be modified,
if necessary, by the user, using a simple program like Notepad - that
can sometimes be an advantage.
Let me clarify: I use an INI table for some things, but some settings I
use the MySQL lookup table approach. There's a case for both.
