How can PHP be used to create an admin interface for updating configuration values?

To create an admin interface for updating configuration values using PHP, you can create a form that allows the admin to input new values for the configuration settings. Upon form submission, the PHP script should update the configuration file with the new values provided by the admin. 

<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $configFile = 'config.php';
    $newConfigValues = $_POST['config_values'];

    // Update the configuration file with the new values
    $configContent = '<?php' . PHP_EOL . 'return ' . var_export($newConfigValues, true) . ';';
    file_put_contents($configFile, $configContent);

    echo 'Configuration values updated successfully!';
}
?>

<form method="post">
    <label for="config_values">Enter new configuration values:</label>
    <input type="text" name="config_values">
    <button type="submit">Update Configuration</button>
</form>
