INI file to multidimensional array in PHP

Question

I have the next INI file:

a.b.c = 1
a.b.d.e = 2

I am parsing this file using parse_ini_file. And it returns:

array(
    \'a

Have a look at the Zend_Config_Ini class. It does what you want, you can use it standalone (without the rest of Zend Framework) and as a bonus it supports section inheritance.

With the toArray method you can create an array from the config object.
