Detailed Description

Arbitrary configuration storage.

Note: Please do not store booleans - convert to 0/1 integer values The get_?config() functions return boolean false for keys that are unset, and this could lead to subtle bugs.

Arrays get stored as serialize strings.

Todo:: There are a few places in the code (such as the admin panel) where boolean configurations need to be fixed as of 10/08/2011.

config is used for hub specific configurations. It overrides the configurations from .htconfig file. The storage is of size TEXT.
pconfig is used for channel specific configurations and takes a channel_id as identifier. It stores for example which features are enabled per channel. The storage is of size MEDIUMTEXT.
$var = get_pconfig(local_user(), 'category', 'key');
xconfig is the same as pconfig, except that it uses xchan as an identifier. This is for example for people who do not have a local account. The storage is of size MEDIUMTEXT.
$observer = $a->get_observer_hash();

if ($observer) {

$var = get_xconfig($observer, 'category', 'key');

}

get_config() and set_config() can also be done through the command line tool util/config
get_pconfig() and set_pconfig() can also be done through the command line tool util/pconfig and takes a channel_id as first argument.

Deletes the given key from the hub's configuration database.

Removes the configured value from the stored cache in $a->config[$family] and removes it from the database.

Parameters

get_config	(	$family,
		$key
	)

Get a particular config variable given the category name ($family) and a key.

Get a particular config variable from the given category ($family) and the $key from a cached storage in $a->config[$family]. If a key is found in the DB but does not exist in local config cache, pull it into the cache so we do not have to hit the DB again for this item.

Parameters

string	$family	The category of the configuration value
string	$key	The configuration key to query

Returns: mixed Return value or false on error or if not set
