function drupal_rewrite_settings

drupal_rewrite_settings($settings = array(), $settings_file = NULL)

Replaces values in settings.php with values in the submitted array.

This function replaces values in place if possible, even for multidimensional arrays. This way the old settings do not linger, overridden and also the doxygen on a value remains where it should be.

Parameters

$settings: An array of settings that need to be updated. Multidimensional arrays are dumped up to a stdClass object. The object can have value, required and comment properties.

  $settings['config_directories'] = array(
    CONFIG_SYNC_DIRECTORY => (object) array(
      'value' => 'config_hash/sync',
      'required' => TRUE,
    ),
  );
  

gets dumped as:

  $config_directories['sync'] = 'config_hash/sync'
