Answer 1

You can use the sections feature of parse_ini_file for this task.

Be sure to set your second parameter to true:

parse_ini_file("sample.ini", true);

It's not exactly possible to make sub sections but you can make an indexed sub array like this:

[123]
setting[] = "1"
setting[] = "2"
setting[] = "3"
setting[] = "4"

Parsed it would look similar like thos

[123][setting][0] => "1"
[123][setting][1] => "2"
[123][setting][2] => "3"
[123][setting][3] => "4"
