INI files are pretty limited and parse_ini_file is far from perfect. If you have requirements like this, you should better look for some other syntax.

What about JSON? It's support in PHP comes with almost same comfort:

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents($filename), TRUE);
file_put_contents($filename, json_encode($data));
