I think you meant [mysql_info]? (Check the closing bracket.)

There's a good example in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php
Notice that you need to do something like this: (based on your example)
<?php
$INI = parse_ini_file("/home/revref/mysql.ini");
print_r($INI);
?>
- E -
PS
Please check the difference between print_r() and echo() as well...
