J parse_ini_file() does exactly what the manual says reads your ini file into an array (as an aside here php arrays are not arrays but key value pairs) >From the PHP Help [first_section] one = 1 five = 5 animal = BIRD [second_section] path = "/usr/local/bin" URL = HYPERLINK "http://www.example.com/~username""http://www.example.com/~username"; Example 2. parse_ini_file() example <?php define('BIRD', 'Dodo bird'); // Parse without sections $ini_array = parse_ini_file("sample.ini"); print_r($ini_array); // Parse with sections $ini_array = parse_ini_file("sample.ini", true); print_r($ini_array); ?> Would produce: Array ( [one] => 1 [five] => 5 [animal] => Dodo bird [path] => /usr/local/bin [URL] => HYPERLINK "http://www.example.com/~username"http://www.example.com/~username ) Array ( [first_section] => Array ( [one] => 1 [five] => 5 [animal] = Dodo bird ) [second_section] => Array ( [path] => /usr/local/bin [URL] => HYPERLINK "http://www.example.com/~username"http://www.example.com/~username ) ) to "recompose" the ini (and write it out) after you have modded the Array would be quite simple (though there appears to be no corresponding write_ini_file function) it would be something like (assuming a 'sectioned' INI) $S = ''; foreach ($INIArray AS $Section => $Data) { $S .= "[$Section ]$CRLF"; foreach ($Data AS $Key => Value) { $S .= "$Key=$Value$CRLF"; } } fopen(); fwrite($S); I'm sure you can fill in the gaps HTH N Hi all. I am trying to potentually solve a problem using PHP. I need to edit a .conf file which is in the format of an INI File. I see PHP has this "parse_ini_file()" but the docs are a bit unclear about certains things like writing back to the file. I have seen some examples, but they are only for what seems like single section ini files, where as the one I want to alter have different section names but the value names are all the same. in Delphi I would go "WriteString('MySection','MyVal','Value')" If there is anyone with PHP knowledge who can help, it woudl be appreciated. The other idea I have is to use Lazarus to write a small CGI app to do it for me. Jeremy -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
