PHP: optimal configuration storage?

Question

My application is being configured with a lot of keys / values ​​(say 30,000)

I want to find the best deployment method for these configurations, knowing that I want to avoid DEFINE in order to allow reconfiguration of the runtime.

I'm thinking of

• preliminary compilation of them into an array via php file
• precompiling them into sqlite tmpfs database
• precompiling them in memcached db

what are my options for

• the best random access time for this configuration (memory is not a problem)
• better structured access time if I can break this configuration down into families such as (network, i18n, ..)

Thanks Jerome

If you want to structure, I would say ini files using the parse_ini_file function .
