Re: parsing ini files

there is a bunch of examples to parse the ini files in PHP. You can even do one on your own: 1. loop every line 2. if format is [**] then this is the key 3. everything till the empty line is a key = value pair P.S: please, when replying click on "new email" and cut&paste the email address. If you click "reply-to" and change the "to" and "body" to your own so it looks like a new post, some of us still get it as a thread of the previous one. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net "Erich C.
