How to change the value of a config item in the controller? - Codeigniter

Question

I have a config file: application/config/breadcrumbs.php

Within the file I have the following configuration item:

$config['hide_number'] = TRUE;

How can I change the value of this config item through the controller.

I need to change the value of this config item one time only. How is this done???

Answer 1

$this->config->load('breadcrumbs');
$this->config->set_item('hide_number', 'your value');

See the docs for more info:
