Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-17 19:49:56] cmb@php.net Since PHP 5.3.0 there is parse_ini_string(), so you could do: parse_ini_string(file_get_contents('...')); Isn't that sufficiently convenient? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-02 16:49:14] sskaje at gmail dot com [2 Feb 4:41pm UTC] stefan dot walk+php at gmail dot com I don't see how checking for allow_url_fopen instead of allow_url_include is a big change ... ya, stefan, its not a big change, but as you know, all_url_include is recommended to be Off to avoid RFI, if you need to parse an ini file on a remote server without allow_url_include ON, you have to download it before parsing it. So, use allow_url_fopen would bring more convinience than allow_url_include ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-02 16:41:16] stefan dot walk+php at gmail dot com I don't see how checking for allow_url_fopen instead of allow_url_include is a big change ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-12 10:12:07] jani@php.net This requires changes too big for a bugfix (this is more like a new feature as such) so most likely this will be in PHP 5.3.0 at earliest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-11 10:01:08] sskaje at gmail dot com There is a ini file on a http server which has something i need on it. so i tried to use parse_ini_file() to get the content and parse it. i set teh 'allow_url_include' Off due to security issue, but i got an error which said that i must turn it On ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
