Look for config setup info that may be commented out #19

Closed PhilD13 closed 6 years ago

PhilD13 commented 11 years ago

When pulling values out of the configuration.php file, it ignores if a value is inside a comment. I have one file that I can update for use locally or on the production server, so I have commented out a line that reads: Code: // public $host = 'localhost';

This line was immediately before the line used by the system.

For this reason, I wasn't getting any of the database info, since my hosting provider uses a db running at a different url. Once I changed the order of these lines, then fpa picked up the correct value.

It should be easy to have preg_match detect a line starting with '//', but it might require removal of all /* ... */ comments before extracting information.

Hope this might help others who want to see info that is not coming thru.
