ID: 44442 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: VJTD3 at VJTD3 dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment:
Says the documentation: "Note: If a value in the ini file contains any non-alphanumeric characters it needs to be enclosed in double-quotes (")." "... Characters {}|&~![()" must not be used anywhere in the key and have a special meaning in the value." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-15 10:33:24] VJTD3 at VJTD3 dot com Description: ------------ if a ini file has a "(" or ")" in it the parse_ini_file function will end on the character before the "(" or ")". in some cases or remove the "(" and ")" or just dump everything between the "(" and ")". In a nut shell it hates "(" and ")" for some reason. Reproduce code: --------------- sample "demo.ini" file: [demo] a=1 b=( c=3 php -r "print_r(parse_ini_file('demo.ini', true));" Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [demo] => Array ( [a] => 1 [b] => ( [c] => 3 ) ) Actual result: -------------- Warning: Error parsing demo.ini on line 3 Array ( [demo] => Array ( [a] => 1 [b] => ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44442&edit=1
