ID: 49461 Comment by: oc3ans at gmail dot com Reported By: sebastian dot schleussner at angstrom dot uu dot se Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment:
According to accepted standards of ini files the semicolon is starting a comment that lasts till the end of the line, so IMHO this is not a bug, if you want to include semicolons in the keys or sections you should escape it with a backslash.

The character breaking parse_ini_file of PHP 5.3.0 with browscap.ini is actually the comment character ";" inside section headers - not one of the special characters. Reproduce code: --------------- ;sample1.ini ; demonstration of what works in 5.2 and 5.3 [a(b){c}&~![^] x=y ;sample2.ini ; demonstration of the problem [a;b];c x=y Code: ----- <?php print_r(parse_ini_file('sample1.ini', true)); print_r(parse_ini_file('sample2.ini', true)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- As in PHP 5.2.10 -- the header's square brackets being interpreted as quoting: Array ( [a(b){c}&~![^] => Array ( [x] => y ) ) Array ( [a;b] => Array ( [x] => y ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [a(b){c}&~![^] => Array ( [x] => y ) ) PHP Warning: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ']' in sample2.ini on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49461&edit=1
