Nested arrays in ini file

stuct1[123][b] = \"2\"
stuct1[123][         


        

Answer 1

You can create a minimum of three levels. Maybe more, but I don't know how to do so.

'.print_r($ini_array,true).'

'); ?>

parse_ini_file.ini

; This is a sample configuration file
; Comments start with ';', as in php.ini

[first_section]
one = 1
five = 5
animal = BIRD

[second_section]
path = "/usr/local/bin"
URL = "http://www.example.com/~username"
second_section[one]="1 associated"
second_section[two]="2 associated"
second_section[]="1 unassociated"
second_section[]="2 unassociated"

[third_section]
phpversion[] = "5.0"
phpversion[] = "5.1"
phpversion[] = "5.2"
phpversion[] = "5.3"

Output

Array
(
    [first_section] => Array
        (
            [one] => 1
            [five] => 5
            [animal] => Dodo bird
        )

    [second_section] => Array
        (
            [path] => /usr/local/bin
            [URL] => http://www.example.com/~username
            [second_section] => Array
                (
                    [one] => 1 associated
                    [two] => 2 associated
                    [0] => 1 unassociated
                    [1] => 2 unassociated
                )

        )

    [third_section] => Array
        (
            [phpversion] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 5.0
                    [1] => 5.1
                    [2] => 5.2
                    [3] => 5.3
                )

        )
