passing database information to another config file??

I am working on a Sprint Tool as module for use with XOOPS. The tool has a config file with the following information:

$GLOBALS['Database User'] = 'username';
$GLOBALS['Database Password'] = 'password';
$GLOBALS['Database Database'] = 'dbname';
$GLOBALS['URL Base'] = 'module_url';
$GLOBALS['Phone Data URL'] = 'phonedata_url';
$GLOBALS['Admin Email'] = 'admin@domainname.com';

I want to do something like this:

$GLOBALS['Database User'] = XOOPS_DB_USER;
$GLOBALS['Database Password'] = XOOPS_DB_PASS;
$GLOBALS['Database Database'] = XOOPS_DB_NAME;

But that doesn't work. Is there another way?

I added the

include '../../mainfile.php';

to the top of the config.php file too... but that didn't work either.

There's got to be away to assign the username, passwors, and databasename from the mainfile.php to another config file...

You may not be using the right path to mainfile.php. '../../mainfile.php' will only work if your config.php is two levels down from mainfile.php. Try:

error_reporting(E_ALL);#*#DEBUG#

$xoopsOption['nocommon'] = 1; // don't include common.php
require_once '/absolute/path/to/xoops/dir/mainfile.php';

if (defined(XOOPS_MAINFILE_INCLUDED)) { #*#DEBUG#
   echo 'it worked';
} else {
   echo 'it did not work';
}


where /absolute/path/to/xoops/dir is the same as the value of XOOPS_ROOT_PATH defined in mainfile.php.

Thanks... I figure it out.

include("../../mainfile.php");

No explanation, but it works
