Drupal: Adding lines to settings.php in an installation profile

Installation profiles can make it easier for you to test and reproduce your configuration. But what if you need to do more than what Install Profile Wizard detects? For example, parts of the Domain Access module ask you to add lines to your sites/default/settings.php. Fortunately, PHP allows you to set up your install profile to write to files during installation.

Here's the code I added to the end of the profilename_profile_final() function:

    // Add the following to the end of settings.php
    $file = fopen("sites/default/settings.php", "a");
    if ($file) {
      fputs($file, "\$cookie_domain = '.transitions2.org';\n");
      fputs($file, "require_once './sites/all/modules/domain/domain_conf/settings_domain_conf.inc';\n");
      fputs($file, "require_once './sites/all/modules/domain/domain_prefix/settings_domain_prefix.inc';\n");
      fclose($file);
    } else {
      drupal_set_message("Can't add domain-related lines to sites/default/settings.php");
    }
