It looks like (in Zend/zend_ini_scanner.l:140): <INITIAL>[[][^[]+[\]][ ]*{NEWLINE}? That means that the following example won't work: [section] var = "val" var2 = "]" var3 = "val3" Try to run this through parse_ini_file(). The pattern should look like: <INITIAL>\[[^\]]+\][ ]*{NEWLINE}? If you'd like to disallow brackets in section name, you could use the following pattern: <INITIAL>\[[^\]\[]+\][ ]*{NEWLINE}?
