Use of .ini file and getting values from .ini file












0















I've a file called config.ini and the location and contents are



/var/www/private/config.ini

[database]
servername=localhost
username=root
password=root
dbname=database


calling this file in a database connection function. and the location is /var/www/includes/connection.php



function db_connect() {

static $connection;
if (!isset($connection)) {
$config = parse_ini_file("/var/www/private/config.ini",true);
//$config = parse_ini_file("../private/config.ini",true);
print_r($config);
$connection = mysqli_connect($config['servername'], $config['username'], $config['password'], $config['dbname']);
}

if ($connection == false) {
echo 'error';
return mysqli_connect_error();
} else {
return $connection;
}
}

// Connect to the database
$connection = db_connect();


But i'm not getting the values of config.ini or i couldn't print the whole file. Is there any mistake in this code? or anyone has any suggestion?
