change configure variable dynamically cakephp

Question

Let's say I have this in my bootstrap.php file in a cakePHP application:

Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng');

How can I dynamically change the value of that configuration variable based on user action in a controller of my application? I tried to do the same thing that I did above here in my controller, but that didn't work

Any help?

Answer 1

Try Configure::write('Config.language', 'dut'); for eg

This answer from the question suggested by @Ryan Pendleton shows a somewhat correct way to use this directive. It should be used in the AppController because it gets loaded first - as the parent of all other controllers in the application itself. I used "somewhat correct" because it is best to validate the language codes ('eng', 'fre', 'dut') in the app/config/routes.php file - go here for more information .
