How can I access database, host, password and username values if they are embedded in an array of another file? In Sample.php I'm trying to reuse the mentioned values from Configuration.php. How to do so? Unfortunately I can't change Configuration.php.

Configuration.php

<?php
return [
    ...
    'DB' => [
        'database' => 'mydatabase',
        'host' => 'myhost',
        'password' => 'mypassword',
        'port' => '',
        'username' => 'myusername',
    ],
    ...
];

Sample.php

<?php

require('../Configuration.php');

$mysqli = new MySQLi($server,$user,$password,$database);

...

  • Just get array from file $arr = include('../Configuration.php'); Commented Jul 18, 2017 at 18:07

    The linked duplicate doesn't explain this, but the return means you should store the result in a variable like $config = include('../Configuration.php'); and then you can read $config['DB']['host'] Commented Jul 18, 2017 at 18:07
  • @jay-blanchard it is not a duplicate of that question. Commented Jul 18, 2017 at 18:07
  • Yes it is @axiac. The OP wishes to take an array and separate it into variables for his connection string. If not exact, we can add others. Commented Jul 18, 2017 at 18:09
  • @JayBlanchard have you even read the code of both questions? It is a duplicate, I agree, but not of the question you suggested. Commented Jul 18, 2017 at 18:11
