New Comment:
The logic difficulty is better showcased with "false" values.
*** PHP 5.2 (GOOD) ***
array(2) {
["Ask"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(0) ""
}
["Mozilla/?.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma*)"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
}
*** PHP 5.3 (BAD) ***
array(2) {
["Ask"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(5) "false"
}
["Mozilla/?.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma*)"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(4) "true"
}
}

The raw option, though, does not convert the string "true"/"false" to
its boolean.
If you change the print_r in my demo code to a var_dump:
*** PHP 5.2 RESULTS ***
array(2) {
["Ask"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
["Mozilla/?.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma*)"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
}
*** PHP 5.3 RESULTS ***
array(2) {
["Ask"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(4) "true"
}
["Mozilla/?.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma*)"]=>
array(1) {
["Crawler"]=>
string(4) "true"
}
}

The raw option is just for this and it's NOT a workaround but exactly
the thing you're supposed to use here. No bug here.

Description:
------------
PHP 5.3 changes to parse_ini_*() functions breaks scripts that have
special characters, {}|&~![()^", in the section titles. (Previous
versions worked, which I assume was proper behavior because section
titles can have those characters according to community understood INI
standards).
There is no documentation stating that special characters can not be
used in section titles. While the INI_SCANNER_RAW parameter provides an
opening for a workaround for this solution, to be useful, the characters
{}|&~![()^" should be usable in section titles (not to be confuse with
keys, where they shouldn't be used).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$tmpfname = tempnam("/tmp", "FOO");
file_put_contents($tmpfname, '[Ask]
Crawler=true
[Mozilla/?.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma*)]
Crawler=true
');
$array = parse_ini_file($tmpfname, true);
print_r($array);
unlink($tmpfname);
Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
[Ask] => Array
(
[Crawler] => 1
)
[Mozilla/?.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma*)] => Array
(
[Crawler] => 1
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: parse error, expecting `']'' in FOOFCCA.tmp on line 4 in
parseBug.php on line 10
