/**
 * CConfiguration represents an array-based configuration.
 *
 * It can be used to initialize an object's properties.
 *
 * The configuration data may be obtained from a PHP script. For example,
 * <pre>
 * &lt;?php
 * return array
 * (
 *     'name'=>'My Application',
 *     'defaultController'=>'index',
 * );
 * ?&gt;
 * </pre>
 * Use the following code to load the above configuration data:
 * <pre>
 * $config=new CConfiguration('path/to/config.php');
 * </pre>
 *
 * To apply the configuration to an object, call {@link applyTo()}.
 * Each (key,value) pair in the configuration data is applied
 * to the object like: $object->$key=$value.
 *
 * Since CConfiguration extends from {@link CMap}, it can be
 * used like an associative array. See {@link CMap} for more details.
