configuration interface for embedded device..

[Gregory Machin <gregory machin gmail com>]

Hi
I'v been asked to write a configureation interface for a linux router that will run on embeded technology.
The interface has to be able to configure all the underlying os functionality. I have managed to get the project to include php and apache,  cause I know php. My problem is figuring how to structure the configuration information. So fare I I'm ending up with 100's of config files or acouple of config's with arrays of arrays of arrays ...... both could end up messy and make for source managabiltiy problems. I would like to create a single engen that handles this, so adding new funtionality to the interface is easier down the road ....
Any input would be grate ..
Many Thanks
