Very new to CodeIgniter, trying to create a custom config file to load special variables into my application.
in application/config/
I created custom.php
and placed the following code in that file:
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); $gender = array ('male','female'); ?>
I then opened up application/config/autoload
and altered the following code:
$autoload['config'] = array(); /* TO: */ $autoload['config'] = array('custom');
I refresh my application and see this error:
Your application/config/custom.php file does not appear to contain a valid configuration array.
I opened up some of the default config files and don’t see a configuration array? What am I doing wrong?

Answer
Use
$config['gender']= array ('male','female');
instead of
$gender = array ('male','female');
For fetching config item
$this->config->item('item_name');
Where item_name
is the $config
array index you want to retrieve.
