Is there a way to use a *.properties file in PHP as you do in Java? I’d like to store some application-level constants in a properties or XML file and easily call them from throughout my code. Your guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.

PHP can natively load and parse
.inifiles usingparse_ini_file().You can also set up constants in an include file using
define().If you’re set on XML, look into PHP’s XML functionality. The simplest solution is probably to use SimpleXML.
