note 100851 added to function.parse-ini-file

Be warned that this function will not only NOT parse 'null', 'true', 'false', etc. but worse, it converts EVERYTHING to strings and sets 'true' values to "1" and null/'false' values to "". Here is my test.ini file: [examples] ; this is a section ; this is a comment line log_level = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE 1 = intkey ; this is a int key nullvalue = null ; this is NULL truebool = true ; this is boolean (TRUE) falsebool = false ; this is boolean (FALSE) intvalue = -1 ; this is a integer (-1) floatvalue = +1.4E-3 ; this is a float (0.0014) stringvalue = Hello World ; this is a unquoted string quoted = "Hello World" ; this is a quoted string apostrophed = 'Hello World' ; this is a apostrophed string quoted escaped = "it work's \"fine\"!" ; this is a quoted string with escaped quotes apostrophed escaped = 'it work\'s "fine"!' ; this is a apostrophed string with escaped apostrophes Here is my test.php page: <?php var_dump(parse_ini_file('./test.ini', true)); ?> Here is the output: array 'examples' => array 'log_level' => string '6135' (length=4) 1 => string 'intkey' (length=6) 'nullvalue' => string '' (length=0) 'truebool' => string '1' (length=1) 'falsebool' => string '' (length=0) 'intvalue' => string '-1' (length=2) 'floatvalue' => string '+1.4E-3' (length=7) 'stringvalue' => string 'Hello World' (length=11) 'quoted' => string 'Hello World' (length=11) 'apostrophed' => string ''Hello World'' (length=13) 'quoted escaped' => string 'it work's \fine\!'
