I have done a way before, but it involved a little bit of eval(), which I've heard isn't all that efficient. And considering the Configure::read() method is used a fair amount, efficiency would probably be a good idea.
For some reason, I've also tried replacing the current setup with a Set::extract($name, $_this); within the method, but (I think) a fatal error was generated (script halted, and there was no output - so I assumed it was fatal). If only it was as simple as a Set::extract (); :) On Aug 21, 2:01 pm, brian <bally.z...@gmail.com> wrote: > Use the source: > > http://api.cakephp.org/view_source/configure/#line-326 > > It's hard-coded in the sense that there's a switch block that tests > the number of names provided.
