Most efficient way of storing database configurations? - Page 2

This is probably one of those questions where it's based purely on opinion, but which is recommended.

PHP Code:


			
$databases['db1']['host'] = 'host';

$databases['db1']['username'] = 'user';

$databases['db1']['password'] = 'pass';



$databases['db2']['dsn'] = 'dsn';

$databases['db2']['username'] = 'user';

$databases['db2']['password'] = 'pass';

OR

PHP Code:


			
$databases = array(

    'db1' => array(

        'host' => 'host',

        'username' => 'user',

        'password' => 'pass'

    ),

    'db2' => array(

        'dsn' => 'dsn',

        'username' => 'user',

        'password' => 'password'

    )

);

Or should I put each database config into it's own array? So have a $db and $db2 array?

You're right, it is a personal preference sorta thing, and I prefer the latter of the 2.
