Order that Coppermine Executes

[lambda]

I am trying to require a PHP file to load some settings that are separate from Coppermine. Thing is, they have conflicting variables.

When I try to require the file inside function.inc.php it cannot connect to the Coppermine DB; conversely, when I try to require the files inside of my custom header, it gives me a Call to a member function error on a uninitialized object.

I want to try to put my require at the very top of Coppermine so that it can execute without conflicting with the Coppermine variables, then unset the variables for coppermine to use.

If someone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Have you already tried to require it at some point inside include/init.inc.php?
