XML Adapter for Zend_Config

__construct(
string $xml, mixed $section
=
null, array|boolean $options
=
false
)
:
void
Loads the section $section from the config file (or string $xml for access facilitated by nested object properties.
Sections are defined in the XML as children of the root element.
In order to extend another section, a section defines the "extends" attribute having a value of the section name from which the extending section inherits values.
Note that the keys in $section will override any keys of the same name in the sections that have been included via "extends".
The $options parameter may be provided as either a boolean or an array. If provided as a boolean, this sets the $allowModifications option of Zend_Config. If provided as an array, there are two configuration directives that may be set. For example:
$options = array( 'allowModifications' => false, 'skipExtends' => false );
