Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-27 10:54:31] eric at aplosmedia dot com Im aware that these are reserved words, but I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation that outlines this behavior... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-26 22:10:34] tony2001@php.net no, on, off, yes, true, false, none are reserved words. That should be documented somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-26 21:59:06] eric at aplosmedia dot com Description: ------------ If an INI file contains a definition such as NO = 667, php will bail out with a parse error.
