Deprecated comments

[sennetta]

I inherited an application, and my install can't handle # comments (running 5.3.0 on a mac).  It keeps on throwing Zend config exceptions.  Is there anything I can set in php.ini to allow this?

 

Cheers

Works fine for me in PHP 5.3.3-dev. Could you post the code that fails as well as the actual error message.

Thanks for your reply.  Here is the output.

 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Config_Exception' with message 'Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /Users/username/www/application/config/mac-desktop_config.ini on line 3
Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /Users/username/www/application/config/mac-desktop_config.ini on line 4

#2 {main}
  thrown in /Users/username/www/application/library/Zend/Config/Ini.php on line 117

 

This is the code from the class Zend_Config_Ini.php:

 

        set_error_handler(array($this, '_loadFileErrorHandler'));
        $iniArray = parse_ini_file($filename, true); // Warnings and errors are suppressed
        restore_error_handler();
        // Check if there was a error while loading file
        if ($this->_loadFileErrorStr !== null) {
            /**
             * @see Zend_Config_Exception
             */
            require_once 'Zend/Config/Exception.php';
            throw new Zend_Config_Exception($this->_loadFileErrorStr);
        }

 

And this is the config file that it's having trouble with.

 

[main]
database.adapter = PDO_MYSQL
#database.cfg.host = 89.234.32.172
#database.cfg.host = 10.10.10.170
database.cfg.host = localhost

.. snip ..

[images]
# possible placeholder 6564a3dcd68ff39a732b6869eeb6a35a.jpg
product.placeholder.src = /images/
product.placeholder.path = /web_root/images/
product.placeholder.height = 200
product.placeholder.width = 200

 

I could just change the comments, but there are LOADS more of them.

You'll have to convert the config file to ;-style comments. If you're using any half-decent editor, you can just use its search and replace feature.

Have done.  Cheers.
