Unit config - Unit config - this is a file, which containts information about one table in the database and the parameters that are associated with displaying and changing the data that's contained in it. The file is an associative array in which each key is a separate option (the array itself is located in the variable $config). The value of each option can be type available доступного in PHP. The options can be interconnected with one another and their connections can't be determined by analyzing just the unit config file. This is better done by searching the names of these options in the PHP code of K4.
