I wrote a script to read in a conf.php file and convert it to use a $conf array. I don't think we have a place for utility scripts like this right now. Where should it go? https://github.com/alexdean/ganglia-stuff/blob/master/reformat_conf.php After you use this tool, but before all code i

One of my gripes with the current PHP frontend code is how hard it can be to recall where which variables are configuration, which come from user input, and which are just local variables. As one step toward fixing this issue, I think it would be nice to place all configuration values (mainly i
