#if defined(PHP_MAJOR_VERSION) && PHP_MAJOR_VERSION >= 6 extension="unicode.so" #endif Here PHP_MAJOR_VERSION is a PHP constant that is not defined in php-5.3 but might be defined in the future version. Dmitry. Jani Taskinen wrote:

Yup. ${foobar} is actually not any "variable" per se, but just a reference to existing ini entry in the file. And I don't think that needs to change.
Oh, I see. Then we can use just "$string" (or "$str.str") for ini entries and "string" for PHP constants. We can also implement defined() macro-function, to check if constant defined.
Why? Don't make php.ini parsing any more complex than it already is(n't). Any string which can pass as constant will have that constant's (or environment variable) value. Why do you need any "variable" in there anyway? And why do you need defined() ??? (examples please? :) --Jani
