Bug #72578 [NEW]: parse_ini_string() doesn't store extension/zend_extension entries correctly

From: kurt dot newman at cpanel dot net Operating system: Linux PHP version: 7.0.8 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:parse_ini_string() doesn't store extension/zend_extension entries correctly Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.parse-ini-string --- This impacts PHP versions: 5.4.45, 5.5.37, 5.6.23, and 7.0.8. The documentation does not say that ini entries will be missing and should be considered a bug. The documentation says: parse_ini_string() returns the settings in string ini in an associative array. As such, this function doesn't properly parse a PHP ini string AND return the complete settings described in said string within a resulting associative array. Test script: --------------- <?php # How to duplicate # echo -e "extension = foo.so\nextension = bar.so\n" > foo.ini # cat foo.ini | ./thisscript.php $ini = ""; $stdin = fopen('php://stdin', 'r'); while (($line = fgets($stdin)) != false) $ini .= $line; fclose($stdin); if (!($arr = parse_ini_string($ini, true, INI_SCANNER_RAW))) { fwrite(STDERR, "ERROR: Invalid php ini format\n"); exit(1); } print_r( $arr ); exit(0); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Recognize that the 'extension' and 'zend_extension' ini entries are special, and can be duplicated within an ini file. Perhaps consider placing them in some special place so that this information isn't lost. This is just an example, and not a request to use this specific output: Array ( [extension] => Array ( [extension0] => foo.so [extension1] => bar.so ) ) Actual result: -------------- # Observe that "foo.so" was defined in the example noted in # the 'Test script', but is missing in the actual usage.
