Question

[template]

color2 = ff6100
color3 = ff6100
color4 = 000000

And a file with contents belo

Answer 1

Use parse_ini:

$colors = parse_ini($path_to_ini, true);

if(array_key_exists($myTheme, $colors)) {
    $myColor = $colors[$myTheme]['color' . $spot];
}

You don't need to compare $spot for each color - you can build the array key to get the value.
