Where to put custom settings in Zend Framework 2?

Question

I have some custom application specific settings, I want to put in a configuration file. Where would I put these? I considered /config/autoload/global.php and/or local.php. But

Answer 1

You can use any option from the following.

Option 1

Create one file called config/autoload/custom.global.php. In custom.global.php

return array(
    'settings' => array(
        'settingA' => 'foo',
        'settingB' => 'bar'
    )
)

And in controller,

$config = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('Config');
echo $config['settings']['settingA'];

Option 2

In config\autoload\global.php or config\autoload\local.php

return array(
    // Predefined settings if any
    'customsetting' => array(
        'settings' => array(
            'settingA' => 'foo',
            'settingB' => 'bar'
         )
    )
)

And in controller,

$config = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('Config');
echo $config['customsetting']['settings']['settingA'];

Option 3

In module.config.php

return array(
    'settings' => array(
        'settingA' => 'foo',
        'settingB' => 'bar'
    )
)

And in controller,

$config = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('Config');
echo $config['settings']['settingA'];
