From: Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise release 5.3 PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Constants are parsed into the ini file for section names
Description: ------------ Documentation at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php says "Constants may also be parsed in the ini file so if you define a constant as an ini value before running parse_ini_file(), it will be integrated into the results. Only ini values are evaluated.". I found this to be incomplete. Not only ini values are evaluated, but also section names. Test script: --------------- define( 'MYCONST', 1 ); /* test.ini file looks like this [MYCONST] MYCONST = MYCONST */ $ret = parse_ini_file( 'test.ini', true ); var_dump( $ret ); Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { ["MYCONST"]=> array(1) { ["MYCONST"]=> string(1) "1" } } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [1]=> array(1) { ["MYCONST"]=> string(1) "1" } } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52138&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52138&r=mysqlcfg
