Parameters
Midgard uses object parameters to attach named values to any Midgard object. The parameters are grouped into parameter domains which are freely chooseable strings. After an object is retrieved with mgd\_get\_<object> the parameters will be defined on that object as $object->domain_name. To manipulate the parameters on an object two methods will be available on the object after the 'get'.
All parameters are returned as strings. Thus, the parameter $obj->conf_type will return the string 1 and not the integer 1 as you might have wanted. Use settype to change the variable type later.
