Need help retrieving values form the settings table

I looked through most of the admin files and none of them seem to be retrieving information from that table. I have added some settings to it, and I want a script to retrieve the value and variable name. I have four variables there, I really don't want to use 4 queries for it. How exactly does vB use it?

it defines each of them seperately Lanigironu... its still kinda a mystery to me but i know that you can call them simply by using the variable... go to admin/setting.php to view the full list... if you do a require('./global.php'); in any script all the setting variables are already defined globally so you just need to use that value... regards hope that helps...
