Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-12-24 13:58:39] [email protected] Jani, this wasn't broken by any of the re2c stuff. The changes you made to zend_ini_scanner.l revision 1.48 are the cause. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-20 21:01:03] duke at masendav dot com More like undocumented feature then. Nothing at http://www.php.net/parse_ini_file says that * cannot be used inside keys. So we are using it in a few in-house applications and this came as unpleasant surprise. We can of course implement a different solution, if you really consider the current (5.2) behaviour bug. In which case it would be nice to have a better explanation in parse_ini_file documentation with regard to what is considered a valid syntax and what not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-20 20:45:16] [email protected] Why should it like it? That looks like a bug that got fixed by the new parser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-20 19:40:21] duke at masendav dot com Description: ------------ parse_ini_file no longer likes * (asterisk) in configuration keys. Works just fine in PHP 5.2.5 Reproduce code: --------------- Ini file with the following content: [section] part1.*.part2 = 1 PHP file: <?php parse_ini_file('test.ini'); Expected result: ---------------- ini file being parsed without any error messages Actual result: -------------- Warning: syntax error, unexpected '*' in test.ini on line 2 in test.php on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46347&edit=1
