如何使用php解析.ini文件？

Question

I've joined to a new team/project and there is a .ini file in the project which is used as the project configuration file. The content of it looks like:

[version]
v                       =  1

[paths]
website                 =  http://localhost
base_url                =  /myweb/
images_path             =  C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\myweb\\img\\
attached_file_path      =  C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\myweb\\attached_files\\

[limitation values]
max_avatar_size         =  2  ; MB
max_uploaded_image_size =  3  ; MB
max_uploaded_file_size  =  4  ; MB

I can access those values like this: config('item_name') , ie config('base_url') which return /myweb/ . Noted that config() function uses parse_ini_file() function.

My question is, what are those section titles? ie [version] , [paths] .. ? Are they accessible? If yes, how?

Answer 1

The function parse_ini_file() have a second argument : bool process_sections .

$ini_array = parse_ini_file("sample.ini", true); // true means "process_sections"
// var_dump(array_keys($ini_array)) ;
var_dump($ini_array['paths']['base_url']) ;
