Description:
------------
The documentation is unclear on this aspect so I am presuming this is a
bug:
Keys in INI files set to null (no quotes) are parsed as empty string ""
instead of a true null.
If this is intended behavior then it should be documented as such.
Reproduce code:
---------------
-- test.ini --
[foo]
bar = null
-- test.php --
var_dump( parse_ini_file( "test.ini" ) );
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
["foo"]=>
NULL
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
["foo"]=>
string(0) ""
}
