How can a php class read from a properties file?

[Anthony Smith]

I have a class that calls some web services. I did not want the url of
the web services to be hardcoded in the class. What is the best way to
go about doing this?

Set the url as a property and initialize it via the constructor or a set
function (or give the ability to do both).

Anthony, you could do this in a similar way to .Net, by using an
application configuration file.

The file can then be read in using parse_ini_file() -

The same thing is sometimes done by storing configuration details in a
database, and reading those in at runtime.
