PHPRunner General questions

I've completed my project of a clinical record system which is working brilliantly - thanks to Sergey for an excellent piece of kit with great security settings.
I have one final goal which will make this perfect. I would prefer to use a certain type of email account for password reminders. At present I'm using a google account but I would prefer to use out institutional secure accounts for email. The challenge is that the password for these email accounts must be changed every 3 months - meaning I'd have to republish the project every 3 months to make the password reminders work.
I'm aware the settings are in appsettings.php
Is there anyway this could be updated via the published application?
Thanks

Add the following code to AfterAppInit and modify those settings based on your app logic:

$globalSettings["strSMTPUser"] = "";

$globalSettings["strSMTPServer"] = "localhost";

$globalSettings["strSMTPPort"] = "25";

$globalSettings["strSMTPPassword"] = "";

$globalSettings["strFromEmail"] = "";

Thanks for this. However, it still required republishing the app everytime the password changes on the email address (by default it forces a change every 30 days). Can the information be held in a database?

Of course, you an modify this code to read data from the database and still assign it to these variables.
If you use PHPRunner 9.8 use Database API:

In older versions you can use CustomQuery function:
