Does PHP allow *.properties file as in Java?

Is there a way to use a *.properties file in PHP as you do in Java? I’d like to store some application-level constants in a properties or XML file and easily call them from throughout my code. Your guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer

PHP can natively load and parse .ini files using parse_ini_file().

You can also set up constants in an include file using define().

If you’re set on XML, look into PHP’s XML functionality. The simplest solution is probably to use SimpleXML.
