Methods

addToArray()

Adds element to array

public addToArray(string $name, string $item) : mixed
Parameters
$name : string
$item : string

changed()

Returns the current value of the changed flag.

public changed() : bool

If it returns true, you probably want to call updateAll().

Return values
bool —

True if values have been changed in memory, false otherwise

flush()

Flush the stored settings

public flush() : void

Resets the class to its initial state. Does NOT clear the section, however.

getArray()

Returns the settings array for the given section and group

public getArray(string $section[, string $group = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

See init() on how the arguments are used. If the method is called successively using the same $group argument, the current settings are returned without calling init(). Thus, changes made by calling set() will be preserved.

Parameters
$section : string

The section

$group : string = null

The optional group

Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —

The settings array on success, false otherwise

getArraySetting()

Get array

public getArraySetting() : type
Return values
type

getGroup()

Get group

public getGroup() : group
Return values
group

getSection()

Get section

public getSection() : string
Return values
string

getValue()

Returns the settings value stored in the object for the name given.

public getValue(string $name) : mixed

If the settings have not been initialized (see init()), or if no setting of that name is present in the current set, null is returned.

Parameters
$name : string

The settings name

Return values
mixed —

The settings value, if present, null otherwise

isDefined()

Returns the true or false for given the setting name

public isDefined(string $name) : bool

If the settings have not been initialized (see init()), or if no setting of that name is present in the current set, false is returned.

Parameters
$name : string

The settings name

Return values
bool —

The if setting name is exist returned true, false otherwise

set()

Updates a setting

public set(string $name, string $value) : bool

If the setting name exists and the new value is not equal to the old one, it is updated, and $changed set to true. Otherwise, nothing happens, and false is returned
