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!
