Bug description: parse_ini_file() gives wrong output with some of Non-alpha
numeric characters
Description:
------------
PHP engine doesnt throw the expected parsing error (which is according to
doc) with the input string given in parse.ini file containing [EMAIL
PROTECTED] char
and which is not included in double quotes ().
Documentation says -
Note: If a value in the ini file contains any non-alphanumeric characters
it needs to be enclosed in double-quotes (") in
http://in2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php.
And it is happening with many other Non-alpha numeric chars like #, %, &,
+, -, `, ^, <, >, :, , _, ?, etc.
For some of chars like !, ~, (), etc php throws parsing error which
is expected according to doc.

Operating System: Linux, Windows XP

;start of ini file
[Strings with non-alpha numeric values]
;without quotes
;Expected a parse error
Non-alpha_string1 = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
;Throws an error, which is according to doc
;Non-alpha_string2 = Hello!world
;with quotes
;Works fine, which is according to doc
Non-alpha_string1_quotes = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Non-alpha_string2_quotes = "Hello!world"
;end of ini file

)
