Modify definition.php file with php form

dragon_sa

I have seen how to change an existing file using the text area, but how would you just extract and edit the variables of the defines tags in file of php defines statements, for use for example to modify site logos and heading texts that are defined in such files? Any help would be much apreciated thank you

I'm not sure what you want to do.
My guess is that you want to [man]fread/man a config/constants.php
change some values
and [man]fwrite/man a new version of this file.

Or maybe you are after something like [man]get_defined_constants/man
which will list all define( 'LABEL', 'value' );

I think probably you mean an automatically config.php update script.
There are many of those.
Most modern PHP Software scripts, like http://phpbb.com/
have a config.php file writer function
that replace an empty or non-existent config.php
with a file with ENTERED values.
This is done when we INSTALL http://phpbb.com/ forum software.

I would like to extract the LABEL and value of each defines statement and also the description of each.
The idea is to have a form page that reads the definitions.php(i have called it for now) for all definitions statements, it extract the LABEL, value and comment from each statement in it, the idea of the comment is to be used as the description on the editing form for each definition statement.

Even if i had to nominate the LABEL of each definition to look for would be fine as that will be a constant

hope this is clearer 🙂 thank you so much for you comment
