And I thought I was the only one who wanted this functionality. I wrote a similar function some time ago, and one to write it back to the file. This is what I came up with:
[tt]function readIniFile($filename, $parseSections = FALSE)
{
if (!($fp = fopen($filename, "r&quot))
return FALSE;
$sections = array();
$section = "global";
while (!feof($fp))
{
$buffer = fgets($fp, 8192);
if (preg_match('/^ *\[([A-Za-z0-9_.-]+)\] *(;.*)?\r?\n?$/', $buffer, $matches))
{
if ($parseSections == TRUE)
{
$section = $matches[1];
$sections[$section] = array();
}
}
elseif (preg_match('/^ *([A-Za-z0-9_.-]+) *= *(["\'](.*?[^\\\\])["\']|(.+?)) *(;.*)?\r?\n?$/', $buffer, $matches))
{
$name = $matches[1];
$value = str_replace("\\", "", $matches[2]);
$value = (($value{0} == '"' || $value{0} == "'&quot ? substr($value, 1, -1) : $value);
$sections[$section][$name] = $value;
}
elseif (preg_match('/^ *;.*\r?\n?$/', $buffer) || preg_match('/^[\t \r\n]*$/', $buffer))
;
else
return FALSE;
}
fclose($fp);
if ($parseSections != TRUE)
$sections = $sections[$section];
return $sections;
}

function writeIniFile($filename, $array, $parseSections = FALSE)
{
if (!($fp = fopen($filename, "w&quot))
return FALSE;
$sections = array();
if ($parseSections == TRUE)
$sections = $array;
else
$sections = array('global' => $array);
foreach ($sections as $section => $values)
{
if ($parseSections == TRUE)
fwrite($fp, "[$section]\r\n"
foreach ($values as $name => $value)
{
fwrite($fp, "$name = \"$value\"\r\n"
}
}
fclose($fp);
return TRUE;
}[/tt]
