Why would you read from a file? Why don't you simply add a setting to the sql 
database and retrieve it with (ie)
	gContext->getSetting("VBIpageNr",399); 
?

Using the mysql command  you could simply change the value by typing
	update settings set data=NEW# where value=VBIpageNr, hostname=YOURHOST;

take care, have fun
