configLoad()

loads config file data and assigns it to the template

Description
===========

void

configLoad

string

file

string

section

This loads [config file](#config.files) data and assigns it to the
template. This works identically to the template
[`{config_load}`](#language.function.config.load) function.

> **Note**
>
> As of Smarty 2.4.0, assigned template variables are kept across
> invocations of [`fetch()`](#api.fetch) and
> [`display()`](#api.display). Config vars loaded from `configLoad()`
> are always global in scope. Config files are also compiled for faster
> execution, and respect the [`$force_compile`](#variable.force.compile)
> and [`$compile_check`](#variable.compile.check) settings.


    <?php
    // load config variables and assign them
    $smarty->configLoad('my.conf');

    // load a section
    $smarty->configLoad('my.conf', 'foobar');
    ?>
