+About
+==============
+
+A simple configuration script to store values in an array, and return them using public static functions!
+
+Got an email recently about this repository--its all but defunct and no longer necessary. A better approach would be to use `.env` variables. [Check out this project here](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv)--and be sure to include `.env` to your `.gitignore`.

+
+Usage
+==============
+
+Ensure you have at least PHP version `5.4`;
+
+Require or include the class file:
+
+```php
+require 'vendor/Config.php';
+```
+
+Create your configuration array:
+
+```php
+Config::init([
+	'username' => 'user',
+	'password' => 'password',
+	'hostname' => 'localhost',
+	'dbname'   => 'test',
+	'database' => [
+	    'hostname' => 'localhost',
+	    'username' => 'username',
+	    'password' => 'test',
+	    'port' => 3306
+    ]
+]);
+```
+
+Then do stuff with your values:
+
+```php
+Config::get('username'); // contains 'user'
+```
+
+Or for multidimensional (init) arrays:
+
+```php
+Config::$instance->database{'password'}; // contains 'password'
+```
+
+Classes
+==============
+
+There are `5` classes of note, they are: `set`, `get`, `ret`, `init`, and `update`.
+
+----------
+
+#### Set
+```php
+public static function set($key, $val) {
+  self::$config[$key] = $val;
+}
+```
+
+Enables you to set a single key value pair.
+
+```php
+Config::set('username', 'zQueal');
+```
+
+----------
+
+#### Get
+```php
+public static function get($key) {
+	self::$config[$key];
+}
+```
+
+Enables you to 'test' a single key pair value. `Config::get()` will not longer return a value. See [Config::ret()](#ret).
+
+```php
+if(Config::get('username') == $value){
+	doStuff();
+}
+```
+
+----------
+
+#### Return
+```php
+public static function ret($key) {
+  print self::$config[$key];
+}
+```
+
+Returns (print) a single key pair value.
+
+```php
+Config::ret('username'); // returns stored value
+```
+
+----------
+
+#### Init
+```php
+public static function init($a) {
+  self::$config = $a;
+  self::$instance = new Config();
+}
+```
+
+Enables you to set multiple key value pairs in a single function, and create multidimensional values.
+
+```php
+Config::init([
+	'username' => 'username',
+	'password' => 'password',
+	'directory' => '/home/zqueal',
+	'about' => [
+		'name' => 'Zach Q',
+		'email' => 'zach.queal@gmail.com',
+		'color' = 'blue'
+	]
+]);
+```
+
+Once your function call has been executed, all the variables will be able to be used in the rest of your script / application. To call a single (top nested) key value pair, use the `Config::get('directory'); // contains /home/zqueal` static function call. If you're trying to access a nested key value pair, then you need to use the static object method `Config::$instance->about{'name'} // returns 'Zach Q'`.
+
+----------
+
+#### Update
+```php
+public static function update($a) {
+	self::$config = array_merge(self::$config, $a);
+}
+```
+
+A function to update already created values.
+
+```php
+Config::set('name', 'Zach Q');
+Config::ret('name'); // returns 'Zach Q'
+Config::update('name', 'Other Name');
+Config::ret('name'); // returns 'Other Name'
+```
