Re: Using function config() fails to define PHP variables

WHICH config() function are you using?

You might want to see the Configure:: read/write methods or Configure class - loading configuration files.

If you need these only for views, your could maybe use

  $this->set('commonVars', array('something'=>'somethingelse')) 

inside your appController's beforeRender() function and then access these vars from

$commonVars['something']

Inside all of your views.

I need the same variables in every view (with a form) and tried using
the config() function to read the file from the Config folder.  It is
read in just fine, and I can generate output from the config file
(e.g. debug($variable)).  However, after the loading of the file, none
of the variables are defined within the view.  In other words, the
$variable is not defined outside of the included file itself.

If I change the use of config() to be an include_once(APP. 'Config' .
DS . 'form_input_params.php') everything works just fine.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for any ideas,
