Hi,
had the same problem before and got around this by writing my own tiny
parser that should work just nicely ( as serializing is a pain-in-the-ass when
editing the .ini file on foot )
Anyway i switched to using an XML-File now :-)
define ('REGEXP_VARIABLE','[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*');
define ('REGEXP_INDEX','[0-9a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*');
/**
* @author Christian Jerono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* @param string $file_name Zu verarbeitende .INI-Datei
* @param bool $process_sections Verarbeitung von Sectionen
* @return array
*/
function _parse_config_file( $file_name , $process_sections = FALSE ){
$match_index = "#^\[?(". REGEXP_INDEX .")\]?#";
$match_section = "#^\s*\[(". REGEXP_VARIABLE .")\]#";
$match_config_param = "#^\s*(". REGEXP_VARIABLE ."(\[".
REGEXP_INDEX ."\])*)\s*=\s*(.*)$#";
$match_value = "#^(([\\\"'])(.*)(?(2)[\\\"']))|([^;]*).*$#";
$return = array();
$file_content = file($file_name);
$pointer =& $return;
foreach ( $file_content AS $file_line ){
$file_line = trim($file_line);
if ( $process_sections === TRUE AND preg_match( $match_section ,
$file_line , $section ) ){
$pointer =& $return[$section[1]];
} else if ( preg_match( $match_config_param , $file_line ,
$config_param ) ) {
$index_name = $config_param[1];
$value = trim(preg_replace( $match_value , "\\3\\4" ,
$config_param[3] ));
$sub_pointer =& $pointer;
while ( preg_match( $match_index , $index_name , $temp ) ){
$sub_pointer =& $sub_pointer[$temp[1]];
$index_name = substr($index_name,strlen($temp[0]));
}
$sub_pointer = defined($value) ? constant($value) : $value;
}
}
return $return;
}
