PHP :: Bug #28804 :: [FIX] lex pattern for ini-file sections wrong (affects php.ini/parse_ini_file())

 [2004-06-16 14:20 UTC] wendland at scan-plus dot de

Description:
------------
The pattern for section in ini-files (as used in php.ini and each file used with parse_ini_file()) is wrong.  It looks like (in Zend/zend_ini_scanner.l:140):
<INITIAL>[[][^[]+[\]][ ]*{NEWLINE}? 
That means that the following example won't work:
[section]
var = "val"
var2 = "]"
var3 = "val3"
Try to run this through parse_ini_file(). The pattern should look like:
<INITIAL>\[[^\]]+\][ ]*{NEWLINE}? 
If you'd like to disallow brackets in section name, you could use the following pattern:
<INITIAL>\[[^\]\[]+\][ ]*{NEWLINE}?
