@Matt: I don't want the .ini file in a directory where it can be browsed. That's what I was referring to. Also, one important goal to me is for the application to be very simple. Just like some of the php apps I have used. Drop the application contents in your web root, change a few settings in the config file. Done! The GetProfileSections solution is perfectly fine if I was planning to do it or expected a more saavy user to do it.
