Description
array
parse_ini_file ( string filename [, bool process_sections])
parse_ini_file() loads in the
ini file specified in filename,
and returns the settings in it in an associative array.
By setting the last process_sections
parameter to TRUE, you get a multidimensional array, with
the section names and settings included. The default
for process_sections is FALSE
Note:
This function has nothing to do with the
php.ini file. It is already processed,
the time you run your script. This function can be used to
read in your own application's configuration files.
The structure of the ini file is similar to that of
the php.ini's.
Example 1. Contents of sample.ini ; This is a sample configuration file
; Comments start with ';', as in php.ini
[first_section]
one = 1
five = 5
[second_section]
path = /usr/local/bin |
|
Example 2. parse_ini_file() example <?php
// Parse without sections
$ini_array = parse_ini_file("sample.ini");
print_r($ini_array);
// Parse with sections
$ini_array = parse_ini_file("sample.ini", TRUE);
print_r($ini_array);
?> |
