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) "" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34354&edit=1
