Re: pear.ini & pearsys.ini

Stig, After some reflexion time, things will not be simple : parse_ini_file() is a good idea (and already exists), but there is no alter_ini_file() or something like that. It is easy to creates a write_ini_file() if we accept to loose the commentaries. Doing a alter_ini_file() which replace the ini values while keeping the commentaries would be the best. Thinks like that may exist somewhere. So maybe we can start with parse_ini_file() (already written) and creates a alter_ini_file(), which, at the beginning, will overide the commentaries. Then we will be able to improve the code in order to keep the commentaries. I think about a IniFile Class in PEAR/ If we do the choice for the pear.ini and pearsys.ini to be in the 'ini' format, why not doing the same format choice for the .registry files (Archive_Tar.reg, ...) ? It will be easier to troubleshoot and correct a badly formatted registry. And a question : Why is there a pearsys.ini and a pear.ini ? I don't see the point. (there is no phpsys.ini and php.ini) I may (will) help on this (if needed), Vincent ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stig S.
