Here's something I did in a hurry. It can be greatly improved, but it appears to work. The class is called IniReader. I put it into an include file called inireader.inc.php, so that's why the example shows that as an include line. The constructor takes 3 parameters - the file name, the section heading, and the variable desired. See the example which returns "United States". First the example code (real short): ================================= <?php include('inireader.inc.php'); $ini = new IniReader('c:\windows\win.ini', '[intl]', 'scountry'); $ini->findvalue(); if ($ini->errorval == 0) { if (empty($ini->requiredvalue)) print("Not found or blank.<BR>"); else print($ini->requiredvalue."<BR>"); } else print("Error #".$ini->errorval." encountered.<BR>"); ?> ================================= Now the class itself - (bigger, but not huge): it should be improved with better error handling, but as a first pass.... what the heck: Read it carefully, because word-wrap (yours or mine or both) is probably going to mess it up pretty good. ================================= <?php class IniReader { var $filename; var $sectionkey; var $varkey; var $errorval; var $linearray; var $requiredvalue; // constructor takes name of ini file (with path) - ie "c:\windows\win.ini", // section - ie "[intl]", // variable to resolve - ie "sCountry" // with above, on my system, should return "United States" function IniReader($filename = "", $sectionkey = "", $varkey = "") { $this->filename = $filename; $this->sectionkey = $sectionkey; $this->varkey = $varkey; $this->errorval = 0; $this->requiredvalue = ""; $this->linearray = array(""); } // function to pull ini file into an array function getfilearray() { if (empty($this->filename)) $this->errorval = 1; // no filename provided elseif (!is_file($this->filename)) $this->errorval = 2; // no such file (or invalid filename) else $this->linearray = file($this->filename); } function findvalue() { $this->getfilearray(); // load up array with ini file if ($this->errorval == 0) // seems ok { if (empty($this->sectionkey)) $this->errorval = 3; // no sectionkey provided else { $eleval = current($this->linearray); // get 1st line of file (array element 0) // watch for end of file and look for sectionkey requested while (!($eleval === false) and (strncasecmp($eleval, $this->sectionkey, strlen($this->sectionkey)) != 0)) $eleval = next($this->linearray); // not found, so continue $eleval = next($this->linearray); // move to next line (could be eof) // watch for eof and only go until next section header encountered // if next section header found, then requested variable value not in this section, // so don't bother continuing while (!($eleval === false) and (strcmp(substr($eleval, 0, 1), "[") != 0)) { // did we find the variable desired? if (strncasecmp($eleval, $this->varkey, strlen($this->varkey)) == 0) { // yes, so put it into this->requiredvalue and quit looking $tmpval = stristr($eleval, "="); if (!($tmpval === false)) // no value at all??? ok, possible $this->requiredvalue = trim(substr($tmpval, 1, strlen($tmpval) - 1)); break; } else // not found yet so continue $eleval = next($this->linearray); } } } } } ?> ============================================== >Thanks, > >John > >Alan Popow wrote: > >> On Mon, 14 May 2001 21:48:54 -0400, you wrote: >> >> Ahh..
