=head1 NAME

C4::Context - Maintain and manipulate the context of a Koha script

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use C4::Context;

  use C4::Context("/path/to/koha.conf");

  $config_value = C4::Context->config("config_variable");
  $db_handle = C4::Context->dbh;
  $stopwordhash = C4::Context->stopwords;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

When a Koha script runs, it makes use of a certain number of things:
configuration settings in F</etc/koha.conf>, a connection to the Koha
database, and so forth. These things make up the I<context> in which
the script runs.

This module takes care of setting up the context for a script:
figuring out which configuration file to load, and loading it, opening
a connection to the right database, and so forth.

Most scripts will only use one context. They can simply have

  use C4::Context;

at the top.

Other scripts may need to use several contexts. For instance, if a
library has two databases, one for a certain collection, and the other
for everything else, it might be necessary for a script to use two
different contexts to search both databases. Such scripts should use
the C<&set_context> and C<&restore_context> functions, below.

By default, C4::Context reads the configuration from
F</etc/koha.conf>. This may be overridden by setting the C<$KOHA_CONF>
environment variable to the pathname of a configuration file to use.

# In addition to what is said in the POD above, a Context object is a
# reference-to-hash with the following fields:
#
# config
#       A reference-to-hash whose keys and values are the
#       configuration variables and values specified in the config
#       file (/etc/koha.conf).
# dbh
#       A handle to the appropriate database for this context.
# dbh_stack
#       Used by &set_dbh and &restore_dbh to hold other database
#       handles for this context.

use constant CONFIG_FNAME => "/etc/koha.conf";
                                # Default config file, if none is specified

$context = undef;               # Initially, no context is set
@context_stack = ();            # Initially, no saved contexts

# read_config_file
# Reads the specified Koha config file. Returns a reference-to-hash
# whose keys are the configuration variables, and whose values are the
# configuration values (duh).
# Returns undef in case of error.
#
# Revision History:
# 2004-08-10 A. Tarallo: Added code that checks if a variable is already
# assigned and prints a message, otherwise create a new entry in the hash to
# be returned. 
# Also added code that complaints if finds a line that isn't a variable 
# assignmet and skips the line.
# Added a quick hack that makes the translation between the db_schema
# and the DBI driver for that schema.

Returns the value of a variable specified in the configuration file
from which the current context was created.

method names. If there is a configuration variable called "new", then
C<C4::Config-E<gt>new> will not return it.

systempreferences table of the Koha database, and returns it. If the
variable is not set, or in case of error, returns the undefined value.

Returns a database handle connected to the Koha database for the
current context. If no connection has yet been made, this method
creates one, and connects to the database.

This database handle is cached for future use: if you call

times. If you need a second database handle, use C<&new_dbh> and
possibly C<&set_dbh>.

Creates a new connection to the Koha database for the current context,

The handle is not saved anywhere: this method is strictly a
convenience function; the point is that it knows which database to
connect to so that the caller doesn't have to know.

  C4::Context->_new_userenv($session);

Builds a hash for user environment variables.

This hash shall be cached for future use: if you call
C<C4::Context-E<gt>userenv> twice, you will get the same hash without real DB access

_new_userenv is called in Auth.pm
