thepip3r Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 If I have a bunch of INI files that have all sorts of information in them that I need to read and write into a database, is there an easy way to get those into a database safely??? Let me elaborate: For characters like, $,[,],{,},!,(,), parse_ini_file()/PHP are reporting a "parsing error" on the lines where it encounters one of the previously described characters. Does anyone have an easy way that I can get PHP to read those characters without having to change around the script that generated the original INI file?
