Config_Container::toArray() -- Return key/value pair array of container and its children
Description
This method returns an array representation of the
Config tree. The format is
$section[directive][index] = value |
If the container has attributes, it will use
'@' as key
for attributes and
'#' for values.
index is here because multiple directives and sections can have the same name,
the
toArray() method takes care of that.
Return value
array - an array representation of
the Config_Container tree
Note
This function can not be called
statically.

$section->createDirective('authentication', 'two', array('type' => 'oracle'));
$section->createDirective('permission', 'group');
var_dump($section->toArray()); |
