{432} - 3.4.3 The Configuration Class
Despite few things needing to be configured in CakePHP, it’s sometimes useful to have your own configuration rules for your application. In the past you may have defined custom configuration values by defining variable or constants in some files. Doing so forces you to include that configuration file every time you needed to use those values.
CakePHP’s new Configure class can be used to store and retrieve application or runtime specific values. Be careful, this class allows to store anything in it, then use it in any other part of your code: a sure temptation to break the MVC pattern CakePHP was designed for. The main goal of Configure class is to keep centralized variables that can be shared between many objects. Remember to try to live by "convention over configuration" and you wont end up breaking the MVC structure we’ve set in place.
This class acts as a singleton and its methods can be called from anywhere within your application, in a static context.
<?php Configure::read('debug'); ?>
<?php Configure::read('debug'); ?>
