◆ wfDetectLocalSettingsFile()

wfDetectLocalSettingsFile ( ?string $installationPath = null )

Decide and remember where to load LocalSettings from.

This is used by Setup.php and will (if not already) store the result in the MW_CONFIG_FILE constant.

The primary settings file is traditionally LocalSettings.php under the MediaWiki installation path, but can also be placed differently and specified via the MW_CONFIG_FILE constant (from an entrypoint wrapper) or via a MW_CONFIG_FILE environment variable (from the web server).

Experimental: The settings file can use the .yaml or .json extension, which must use the format described on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:YAML_settings_file_format.

Access: internal: Only for use by Setup.php and Installer.

Since: 1.38

Parameters

string | null $installationPath The installation's base path, as returned by wfDetectInstallPath().

Returns: string The path to the settings file
