Answer 1

How about after taking mysql credentials and verifying connection, you generate code for config.php by using php’s file function in Install.php. Logic of generating of code for config.php will depend on you use config.php.

Here is the sample code, let say config.php is should look like this.

    <?php 
$config['host'] = "localhost";
$config['user'] = "root";
$config['password'] = "password";
    ?>

Php code for generating above code will be like.

    <?php
$codeStr =<<<CODE <?php  
          \$config['host'] = "$host";
\$config['user'] = "$username";
\$config['password'] = "$password";
file_put_contents('config.php',$codeStr);
CODE;
