Thanks guys for the answers. We could talk about app's design of course, but trust me, my choices are thoughtful. Moreover, I thought it would be interesting to know about this, globally.
The fact is that I use DB storage to strongly coupled strongly varying data ... Here, it's just about "almost" static configuration settings, like, say, the "From" mail address used for mails sent by my app. But I don't want app's administrators to modify "yml" files, as they may NOT know Symfony and/or Yaml files format. So I created a form based administration module for my app. The idea would be changing configuration for a punctual special need with these forms. But clearing the cache would force yaml files re-read, and load default configuration. As Carl say, I also concluded that I will be forced to WRITE yml files and clear the cache. But this is way less handful: you have to write (that's slow, must take care of rights), clear cache at each change, and thus, handling a backup original "yml" configuration file to restore in case of configuration corruption ... sfConfig::set()-ing would have been much more cool. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
