Kevin, I have found, with experience, with clients who need to have scripts written, that are going to need some sort of global variables assigned to be used by various script, to use a separate configuration file or module. This prevents the client from messing up the main script(s) for your program or project. A simple or complex configuration file/module can be created and editable by the client thru an admin interface, or manually updating the config file. This way the main script(s) are touched.
