This function has nothing to do with the

the time you run your script. This function can be used to

read in your own application's configuration files.

There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for

ini files. These include: <literal>null</literal>, <literal>yes</literal>,

<literal>no</literal>, <literal>true</literal>, <literal>false</literal>,

<literal>on</literal>, <literal>off</literal>, <literal>none</literal>.

Values <literal>null</literal>, <literal>off</literal>, <literal>no</literal> and
|
|
<literal>false</literal> result in <literal>""</literal>, and values
|
|
<literal>on</literal>, <literal>yes</literal> and <literal>true</literal> result
|
|
in <literal>"1"</literal>, unless <constant>INI_SCANNER_TYPED</constant> mode is used (as of PHP 5.6.1).
|

Characters <literal>?{}|&~!()^"</literal> must not be used anywhere in

the key and have a special meaning in the value.

<para>

Entries without an equal sign are ignored. For example, "foo"
|
|
is ignored whereas "bar =" is parsed and added with an empty
|
|
value. For example, MySQL has a "no-auto-rehash" setting
|
|
in <filename>my.cnf</filename> that does not take a value, so
|
|
it is ignored.
