While this might be uncommon for INI files, it is a long standing and well documented[2] behavior, so it's not going to change.

Seems function completely removes nested quotes and da data between them. Standard for INI file "quote quoting" method is doubling (see MS Excell, Thunderbird, Outlook, GMail programs which could create INI files). But it does not work with parse_ini_file. Reproduce code: --------------- --file.ini-- key = "test""quotes" --test.php-- print_r(parse_ini_file('file.ini')); Expected result: ---------------- test"quotes Actual result: -------------- testquotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36045&edit=1
