note 17998 added to function.parse-ini-file

To automate the assignment of settings in the .ini file to variables: $SETTINGS = parse_ini_file("./your.ini.php"); while($key = key($SETTINGS)) { $$key = current($SETTINGS); //variable variables next($SETTINGS); } So, for example, if you had a line: dbtype = mysql then, the above code will create a variable called $dbtype, and thus can be referenced as a regular variable. Also, it is wise to end your .ini file with a .php extension so that it is not displayed as text when called directly through a browser.
