I was recently introduced to FuelPHP and am currently evaluating it for a potential project and am quite impressed so far. I come from Kohana so it's been fairly straight forward. However, as far as I can tell the Config class in Fuel relies on a PHP file in the configuration directory and cannot pull a config from the database. For my application, this is a very important feature. Are there any implementations for this functionality for Fuel or is something I would have to build into the Config class myself?
The core functionality includes driver support for file based configuration storage, either in PHP array, INI, Yaml or json format.
As it is driver based, it's not a problem to create a class called Config_Db, so you can do \Config::load('myconfig.db'); Once defined the Config class will pick it up automatically, just make sure your class implements \Config_Interface.
I vaguely recall a similar question some time ago, so maybe a (google) search might reveal it's already written.
