Using parse_ini_file to parse an ini file with array-type entries?


Recommended Posts

I have a Windows-style ini file that contains entries as such:

 

[Timers]
Timer(1)=50
Timer(2)=30
Timer(3)=20

The entries represent an array  of 3 different timers

Apparently parse_ini_file can't deal with the () format. Is there any way to use this format ini file without having to change how arrays are designated?

When it comes to it, no part of php uses () format for arrays.

try

[Timers]
Timer[1]=50
Timer[2]=30
Timer[3]=20

with

$timers = parse_ini_file('mytimers.ini', 1);
echo '<pre>', print_r($timers, 1), '</pre>';

giving

Array
(
    [Timers] => Array
        (
            [Timer] => Array
                (
                    [1] => 50
                    [2] => 30
                    [3] => 20
                )

        )

)
