Description 

Author

This class can read and parse INI files without using the parse_ini function.

It can open a given INI file and use regular expressions to extract the sections and values of properties defined in the configuration file.

The class can return the values of settings by name and section, or default values in case the settings are missing from the INI file.

ini.class.php Version: 0.2 beta Author: Daniel Jaenecke <jaenecke@gmx.li> PHP-Version: 4.2.3 Beware: This class is still beta. It should work fine when used as described below, butt here is no real error-handling yet nor hast here been much testing. So just be aware... Purpose: Handle ini files :) You can simply use this class to read an ini-file and return as an array - just like parse_ini_file() does. But his class can do some more... Features: Handling default values You can load an additional defaults-file. Whenever you request an ini-value which is not set but available from the defaults it will be returned from there. Parsing of constants When using parse_ini_file() any value which represents a defined constants name is replaced by the according value - which can be quite useful, but is not always desired - and it cannot be turned off. the ini.class offers this as a feature. You can control the replacement by setting $parse_constants to TRUE/FALSE. Also, any value enclosed in single or double quotes will not be replaced by a constant's value, ignoring the setting of $parse_constants. Syntax of ini/default files Comments Comments start with # or //. Anything to the end of line is ignored. Empty lines are also ignored. Key-/Value pairs Assigning values to a key is done like key = value to prevent value from being replaced by the value of a constant with the same name you can enclose value in single or double quotes: key = "value" key = 'value' Since quotes are removed if they enclose a value you have to use them twice if they are desired, like key = ""value"" Sections Sections are enclosed into [ ]. Any section containing no key/value-pair is ignored. Anything else Any line not matching one of the patterns for section or key/value will be ignored. There is no error-handling yet!
