Req #52227 [Com]: parse_ini_* does not parse namespaced constants

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52227&edit=1 ID: 52227 Comment by: wil dot moore at wilmoore dot com Reported by: wil dot moore at wilmoore dot com Summary: parse_ini_* does not parse namespaced constants Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux, Mac, Windows PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: I disagree with the demotion to "Feature Request". This was submitted as a bug due to the following rationale: 1 - The parse_ini_* functions currently support expanding constants. 2 - Namespaces were added as a feature and they include allowing constants to be included under a namespace. 3 - Every other usage of a function, class/method, or constant works with the namespace implementation, exception for parse_ini_* functions. 4 - A constant is a constant regardless of if it is a global constant, class constant, or namespaced constant -- functions that support constants should honor each of these variations or at the very least, it should be well- documented if there is a discrepancy. Give the above facts, I would say this should remain filed as a bug. If this is not a software bug, then this is a documentation bug (error). Either way, it is a bug.

Test script: --------------- <?php namespace my; const PROJECT_NAME = 'parse_ini_file_namespaced'; $ini = parse_ini_string(<<<EOF [TEST_SECTION] project.constant.global = PROJECT_NAME project.constant.namspaced = my\PROJECT_NAME EOF ); var_export($ini); Expected result: ---------------- array ( 'project.constant.global' => 'parse_ini_file_namespaced', 'project.constant.namspaced' => 'my\\PROJECT_NAME', ) Actual result: -------------- array ( 'project.constant.global' => 'PROJECT_NAME', 'project.constant.namspaced' => 'my\\PROJECT_NAME', ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52227&edit=1
