It is now possible to load multiple sections into a Zend_Config :) The inheritence mechanism in the INI files has also changed to remove it from the data space and into the section name space.
As a bonus, whilst doing them, I managed to remove a lot of rendundant code from Zend_Config_Ini and so it's now much easier to understand how it works.
To load multiple sections just pass in an array to the $section parameter:
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml('config.xml', array('section1','section2'));
To load all sections pass in null:
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml('config.xml', null);
How easy is that ?! (Obviously this works for Zend_Config_Ini too...)
For Zend_Config_Ini users, the way to extend one section from another is to use a colon in the section name:
Previously:
[common] db.name = 'live' [test] extends=common db.name = 'test'
Now you do:
[common] db.name = 'live' [test : common] db.name = 'test'
Much nicer. Note that the trunk no longer supports the old way of extending, so you must update your INI file when you upgrade to 0.2.
