The easiest is to add it to the main configuration file (protected/config/main.php), like this:




return array(

	'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..',

	'name' => 'MyWebApp',

	'company' => 'Me Incorporated',

Then you should be able to use Yii::app()->company.

If you want to extend, use runApplication method. You can pass it a class name.

You can also use params property:




// your application config:

'params'=>array(

    'company'=>'My Company',

),

This doesn’t work since $company isn’t a public property of CWebApplication nor does it have a setter-method.

If you really want to access via Yii::app()->company then extend the CWebApplication class (by adding public property or setter/getter method) or attach a behavior to Yii::app(). But maybe what andy_s wrote will work for you.

Right, I still have some Yii learning to do…

That reminds me: I would probably use the Config extension written by Y!! ;)

I am planning to use that myself…


$company = Yii::app()->config->get('company');

Yii::app()->config->set('company', 'My Company Unlimited');
