Summary: Constants are parsed into the ini file for section
names
Status: Analyzed
Type: Bug
Package: Filesystem function related
Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise release 5.3
PHP Version: 5.3.2
New Comment:
I don't think section names should be replaced by constant values, but
since that's the case, the online documentation should be updated to
document this fact.

For 5.3+ the constant value is passed directly to ZEND_INI_PARSER_CB(),
thus not knowing its name...

Description:
------------
Documentation at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php says "Constants
may also be parsed in the ini file so if you define a constant as an ini
value before running parse_ini_file(), it will be integrated into the
results. Only ini values are evaluated.".
I found this to be incomplete. Not only ini values are evaluated, but
also section names.
Test script:
---------------
define( 'MYCONST', 1 );
/*
test.ini file looks like this
[MYCONST]
MYCONST = MYCONST
*/
$ret = parse_ini_file( 'test.ini', true );
var_dump( $ret );
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
["MYCONST"]=>
array(1) {
["MYCONST"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
[1]=>
array(1) {
["MYCONST"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
}
