someone please 🙁 need this urgent, weedpacket pppllleeeaassseee i know you can do this, cause you the php god 🙂

$configVars['$row->name'] = $row->value;

Drop the quotes. The variable's contents would be turned into a string anyway, so (a) using variable interpolation in a string is just a waste of CPU cycles, and (b), variable interpolation doesn't happen for single-quoted strings anyway!

You may now bow down before me 🙂
