Er, true. However, read your comments on bug #33574. :-) It was also my
understanding that they used the same parsing code, but this
understanding may be flawed.

This is not really bug but feature request. (nobody said it works with
parse_ini_file(), did they?)

Description:
------------
On the documentaiton page of php.ini, it states:

" Since PHP 5.1.0, it is possible to refer to existing .ini variables
from within .ini files. Example: open_basedir = ${open_basedir}
":/new/dir"."

This does not seem to work in 5.1 for parse_ini_file.

Also, it appears there is no way to reference sections, e.g.,

baz = ${section.foo}

That would be nice. Very nice, in fact (regardless of syntax required).

Reproduce code:
---------------
--- file.ini ---
[Test]
foo = bar
baz = ${foo}

--- test.php ---
<?php

$ini = parse_ini_file( "file.ini", true );

var_dump( $ini );

?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  ["Test"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["foo"]=>
    string(3) "bar"
    ["baz"]=>
    string(3) "bar"
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
  ["Test"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["foo"]=>
    string(3) "bar"
    ["baz"]=>
    string(0) ""
  }
}
