Question

I need to use an yml config file parameter into another yml config file in Symfony 1.4, and I don’t know how to do this.

In app.yml I have defined parameters like “ldap ip” or “ldap domain”, and theese parameters are also used in LDAPauth.yml. For that reason, I want to unify it:

app.yml:

    all:
      ldap:
        ip: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
        domain: ou=XXXXXX, ou=......

LDAPAuth.yml:

    adLDAP: 
        base_dn: ou=XXXXXX, ou=......
        domain_controllers:
          - XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

I tried this in LDAPAut.yml, but doesn’t work:

LDAPAuth.yml:

    adLDAP: 
        base_dn: %APP_LDAP_IP%
        domain_controllers:
          - %APP_LDAP_DOMAIN%

I would appreciate if anybody knows how to make this works.

Thanks!

You can execute PHP code inside a yml (yep crazy but so useful sometimes).

In your case, since data inside app.yml file are accessible using sfConfig::get, you can do:

adLDAP: 
    base_dn: <?php echo sfConfig::get('app_ldap_domain')."\n"; ?>
    domain_controllers:
      - <?php echo sfConfig::get('app_ldap_ip')."\n"; ?>

The "\n" at the end is to write a line return to no break the yml syntax.
