New Comment:
You can easily do this by:
$ini = parse_ini_file(dirname(__FILE__).'/config.ini');
line in your ServerRoot/inc/include.inc file.
But perhaps it would be a good idea to add an optional parameter to
parse_ini_file() to indicate wheather to use include_path.

Description:
------------
When keeping include files separate from publicly accessible documents,
paths to access files in the includes directory can differ for
different pages in the site. For example, on my setup I keep my site
in /var/www; publicly-accessible pages (including my PHP pages) are in
/var/www/pub (which is Apache's ServerRoot), and the include file is in
/var/www/inc. Also stored in /var/www/inc are ini files my PHP
application uses. /var/www/inc is in my include_path.
In my PHP pages, I use require('include.inc'). Inside include.inc
there are calls to parse_ini_file() to process my ini files. Since my
ini files are stored in the same directory as my include file, I
figured at first that referencing them as simple 'config.ini' etc.
would work. Unfortunately, it doesn't, as it looks in the directory of
the currently-executing script. Wouldn't it be more logical for
parse_ini_file() to look in include_path instead, considering 1) almost
any sane include_path includes ./ anyway, and 2) common sense dictates
that ini files should be kept out of the ServerRoot, and it makes sense
to put them with the other files that should be kept out of the
ServerRoot, your include files?
Reproduce code:
---------------
File: ServerRoot/pub/test.php
=============================
<?php
include('include.inc');
?>
File: ServerRoot/inc/include.inc
================================
<?php
$ini = parse_ini_file('config.ini');
echo $ini['value'];
?>
File: ServerRoot/inc/config.ini
===============================
value=hi
Expected result:
----------------
hi
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: parse_ini_file(): Cannot open 'config.ini' for reading in
ServerRoot/include.inc on line 1
