parse_ini_file

Name

parse_ini_file — Reads and parses an ini file.

Synopsis

array parse_ini_file(filename[, process_sections]);
string filename: Name of file to read
bool process_sections (optional): Process sections

Returns

Array of ini file values

Description

Opens and processes an initialization file. The file format should be the standard Windows format as seen in the PHP initialization file. By default, all entries are returned in an associative array with the setting name as the key and its current setting as the value.

If process_sections is set, parse_ini_file() returns a multidimensional array with each section of the initialization file in the first level and entries in each section contained in the nested arrays.

One useful feature of this function is that you can use it to parse your own custom initialization files, provided that they're in the correct format.

Warning

process_sections parameter added in version 4.0.4

Warning

This function was only made available to thread-safe servers in version 4.0.4

Version
