I am wondering if there is anyway to (in an .ini file) implement something that when parsed by the parse_ini_file() (in php) will create a multidimensional array instead of just an associative array?
I've been searching but have came up empty, so I was wondering if anyone over here might have an idea on whether something like this is allowed or not.
Example:
file.ini (semi-sudo-code):
input = input1 = ('Hello world this is test #1')
input = input2 = ('Hello world this is test #2')
code.php:
$array = parse_ini_file("file.ini", true);
print_r($array);
Expected output:
Array
(
[input] => Array
(
[input1] => Hello world this is test #1
[input2] => Hello world this is test #2
)
)
Seems like I found my own answer after figuring out a better way to word my question.
.ini Files can have sections that are enclosed in brackets [ ] for example:
[input]
input1 = ('Hello world this is test #1');
input2 = ('Hello world this is test #2');
This is exactly what I was looking for as the sections (when parsed) turn it into a multidimensional array:
Array
(
[input] => Array
(
[input1] => Hello world this is test #1
[input2] => Hello world this is test #2
)
)
Definitely should've waited a bit longer and researched a bit more before posting this question, but I'll leave it up for others who may have the same problem as I initially did.
