Thanks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-09-27 17:37:14] cmb@php.net It seems to me that is already documented in the migration guide[1] (and also in UPGRADING).

I could not find a mention of parse_ini_* update in the NEWS, so it might be collateral. I suggest a mention of update in the migration manual will be good. Test script: --------------- <?php $ini = <<<'INI' code=" \"\\" value=\\"\" . htmlspecialchars($Value) . \"\\" />\n\"; "; INI; print_r(parse_ini_string($ini)); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [code] => "\" value=\"" . htmlspecialchars($Value) . "\" />\n"; ) Actual result: -------------- code=" \"\\" value=\\"\" . htmlspecialchars($Value) . \"\\" />\n\"; ";PHP Warning: syntax error, unexpected '=' in Unknown on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81482&edit=1
