Req #67331 [Csd->ReO]: Have parse_ini_file add empty entries

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67331&edit=1 ID: 67331 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: philip@php.net Summary: Have parse_ini_file add empty entries -Status: Closed +Status: Re-Opened Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *Configuration Issues PHP Version: 5.6.0beta3 Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I have reverted the commit for now, since it broke some tests on Windows. Strangely, these tests appear to succeed on Linux. Anyhow, changing the NULL to an empty string lets the tests succeed on Windows. Considering strict typing, setting entries without equal sign to an empty string might be better anyway (that's also done this way by Python). But there are more issues. Firstly, run-tests.php is not prepared for entries without equal sign[1]. Secondly, the -d option of the CLI php (I have not yet checked other SAPIs) seems to interpret options without equal sign as enabling them[2], which would be inconsistent. Changing this, however, would be a considerable BC break.
