Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
PHP Version: 4.4.2
New Comment:
Not sure I'd describe it as "much better", since it clashes with
windows paths. Consider:
path = "\"C:\Program Files\blah\""
5.2 would presumably render this as '\C:\Program Files\blah\\', which
loses the distinction between "escaped" quotes and plain backslashes.

Well..with current 5_2 version I get:
array(2) {
["title"]=>
string(23) "Best Scripting Language"
["desc"]=>
string(42) "See <a href=\http://www.php.net/\>PHP</a>!"
}
although this not what you expect, is much better, since you can use
str_replace() to replace backslashes with double quotes if you want.

The latest PHP5 I have access to is 5.0.4, and it fails there.

IT works perfectly fine with a current version of PHP ( in my case 5_2
CVS), so you better try PHP5, you should be using PHP4 anyway..
ps: it is reproducible in current PHP 4_4 CVS, but Im not sure if this
is gonna be fixed (if a bug), wait for official answer.

Description:
------------
It appears there's no way a value in a .INI file can contain a double
quote character.
Backslash escaping is unsupported. If some other escaping method is
available, the doc page doesn't mention it.
Example is taken from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php#18216, posted
in January 2002.
C-style backslash escaping probably can't be supported due to Windows
paths. Other escaping methods might be feasible: SQL-style doubled
quote characters, for example.
Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(parse_ini_file("example.ini"));
;============================
; Example Configuration File
;============================
[category]
title = "Best Scripting Language"
desc = "See <a href=\"http://www.php.net/\";>PHP</a>!"
Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
["title"]=>
string(23) "Best Scripting Language"
["desc"]=>
string(13) "See <a href="http://www.php.net/";>PHP</a>!"
}
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: Error parsing a.ini on line 6
in Command line code on line 1
array(2) {
["title"]=>
string(23) "Best Scripting Language"
["desc"]=>
string(13) "See <a href=\"
}
