Question

Is it possible to include a file with PHP variables inside a class? And what would be the best way so I can access the data inside the whole class?

I have been googling this for a while, but none of the examples worked.

Answer 1

The best way is to load them, not to include them via an external file.

For example:

// config.php
$variableSet = array();
$variableSet['setting'] = 'value';
$variableSet['setting2'] = 'value2';

// Load config.php ...
include('config.php');
$myClass = new PHPClass($variableSet);

// In a class you can make a constructor
function __construct($variables){ // <- As this is autoloading, see http://php.net/__construct
    $this->vars = $variables;
}
// And you can access them in the class via $this->vars array
