Zend_Config_Writer gives you the ability to write config
        files out of Zend_Config objects. It works with an
        adapter-less system and thus is very easy to use. By default
        Zend_Config_Writer ships with three adapters, which all
        work the same. You instantiate a writer with specific options, which
        can be filename and config. Then
        you call the write() method of the writer and the config
        file is created. You can also give $filename and
        $config directly to the write() method.
        Currently the following writers are shipped with
        Zend_Config_Writer:
    
                Zend_Config_Writer_Array
            
                Zend_Config_Writer_Ini
            
                Zend_Config_Writer_Xml
            
        As an exception, Zend_Config_Writer_Ini has an additional
        option parameter nestSeparator, which defines with which
        character the single nodes are separated. The default is a single dot,
        like it is accepted by Zend_Config_Ini by default.
    
        When modifying or creating a Zend_Config object, there are
        some things to know. To create or modify a value, you simply say set
        the parameter of the Zend_Config object via the parameter
        accessor (->). To create a section in the root or to
        create a branch, you just create a new array
        ("$config->branch = array();"). To define which section
        extends another one, you call the setExtend() method
        on the root Zend_Config object.
    
例 10.1. Using Zend_Config_Writer
            This example illustrates the basic use of
            Zend_Config_Writer_Xml to create a new config file:
        
// Create the config object
$config = new Zend_Config(array(), true);
$config->production = array();
$config->staging    = array();
$config->setExtend('staging', 'production');
$config->production->db = array();
$config->production->db->hostname = 'localhost';
$config->production->db->username = 'production';
$config->staging->db = array();
$config->staging->db->username = 'staging';
// Write the config file in one of the following ways:
// a)
$writer = new Zend_Config_Writer_Xml(array('config'   => $config,
                                           'filename' => 'config.xml'));
$writer->write();
// b)
$writer = new Zend_Config_Writer_Xml();
$writer->setConfig($config)
       ->setFilename('config.xml')
       ->write();
// c)
$writer = new Zend_Config_Writer_Xml();
$writer->write('config.xml', $config);
This will create an XML config file with the sections production and staging, where staging extends production.
例 10.2. Modifying an Existing Config
This example demonstrates how to edit an existing config file.
// Load all sections from an existing config file, while skipping the extends.
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini('config.ini',
                              null,
                              array('skipExtends'        => true,
                                    'allowModifications' => true));
// Modify a value
$config->production->hostname = 'foobar';
// Write the config file
$writer = new Zend_Config_Writer_Ini(array('config'   => $config,
                                           'filename' => 'config.ini'));
$writer->write();

|---|---|
| When loading an existing config file for modifications it is very important to load all sections and to skip the extends, so that no values are merged. This is done by giving the skipExtends as option to the constructor. |
