Simplifies storing variables in database, for example configuration variables. This library is for php5 only.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `config` (
  `key` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `value` text NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`key`)
)
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

/**
* Use:
*     $this->load->database();
*     $this->load->library('dbvars');
*     
* To set value: $this->dbvars->key = 'value';
* To get value:    $this->dbvars->key
* To check if the variable isset: $this->dbvars->__isset($key);
* To unset variable use: $this->dbvars->__unset($key);
* As of PHP 5.1.0 You can use isset($this->dbvars->key), unset($this->dbvars->key);
