How to create a global configuration file?

I'm trying to create a global configuration file in my php project, essentially, I have this content:

class SystemConfiguration 
{
   // Settings

   public static $base_url    = 'http://localhost/Application/';
   public static $db_host     = 'localhost';
   public static $db_name     = 'app';
   public static $db_username = 'root';
   public static $db_password = '123456';
}

now the content above is placed into config.php file, this file is in available in the root/settings/ folder. Now what I'm trying to achieve is get the variable included in the SystemConfiguration file from other file, what I tried, for example in the index.php: 

 <?php
      require_once("system/config.php");

      $this->$base_url;

but when I load index.php I get fail to load response data in the network console tab, what I did wrong?

after including the folder has your class you can call its vars by doing an object from your class, in case static variables you can call directly like below:

SystemConfiguration::base_url;

where you can call static variables by :: and in case non static you call them by initialize object from your class:

$object_system_configuration = new SystemConfiguration();
$object_system_configuration->base_url;
