What would be the best way to make a set of variables
available to all visitors?

example: 
if I stick all variables in a separate file and
include - include(settings.php); - that works fine.
seems that this is a lot of overhead to include these
on every page. These variables would never change
(they basically turn an alpha string into numeric to
speed up queries.) I don't think hard coding would be
a great solution either... 

simplified example:
one set of variables to be included on all pages refer
to the article type - i would like to use urls that
make sense to the visitor rather than number strings
so - 
$article_type = array("news" => 1,"opinion" =>
2,"finance" => 3);

Maybe it would be best to simply query for WHERE
article_type = 'news' etc.

Thanks much,
