It appears that the php.ini parser does not raise an all-important alarm on this kind of error. I spent hours trying to understand why my changes to php.ini were not reflected in ini_get_all(). It would be nice if the php.ini parser threw a message about syntax errors to stderr. Pretty please! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46894&edit=1
