This course will teach you how to get database (DB) name in a Custom File.

Sometimes, we need to get information that related to the database connection, such as host name, database name, username, password, port, and so forth.

We actually can achieve this result by using the following simple code:

var_dump(Config("Databases"));

Unfortunately, this cannot be always be used, since PHPMaker provides a Database_Connecting server event that will have the ability to override the database connection from that code above.

The question is, how can we get the database connection info from that Database_Connecting server event instead of database configuration?
