parse_ini_string
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)
parse_ini_string — Parse a configuration string
Description
The structure of the ini string is the same as the php.ini's.
Warning
This function must not be used with untrusted inputs, unless
scanner_mode is INI_SCANNER_RAW
since the parsed output might contain the values of sensitive
constants, such as constants holding a database password.
Parameters
ini_string-
The contents of the ini file being parsed.
process_sections-
By setting the process_sections
parameter to true, you get a multidimensional array, with
the section names and settings included. The default
for process_sections is false
scanner_mode-
Can either be INI_SCANNER_NORMAL (default) or
INI_SCANNER_RAW. If INI_SCANNER_RAW
is supplied, then option values will not be parsed.
As of PHP 5.6.1 can also be specified as INI_SCANNER_TYPED.
In this mode boolean, null and integer types are preserved when possible.
String values "true", "on" and "yes"
are converted to true. "false", "off", "no"
and "none" are considered false. "null" is converted to null
in typed mode. Also, all numeric strings are converted to integer type if it is possible.
Return Values
The settings are returned as an associative array on success,
and false on failure.
Notes
Note:
There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for
ini files. These include: null, yes,
no, true, false,
on, off, none.
Values null, off, no and
false result in "", and values
on, yes and true result
in "1", unless INI_SCANNER_TYPED mode is used.
