note 31441 added to function.parse-ini-file

A simple way of increasing security for .ini files when circumstances require them to be sat in your webroot (such as shared/limited-access hosting), is to prepend the following lines to your ini file. ; <?php /* Send Notification */ error_log('Unauthorised web access to *.ini file (file:' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] . ')',1,$__EMAIL_ADDRESS__); ?> ; <?php /* Log error in file */ error_log('Unauthorised web access to *.ini file (file:' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] . ')',3,$__ROOT_TO_LOGS__); ?> ; <?php exit("Unauthorised web access to *.ini file.\n\nPermission Denied.\nTerminated."); ?> ; ; Rest of ini file below... The second line may be removed should your host not allow logging. This will then notify you of any problems so you can take action.
