Hello,

Here's a patch again PHP_5_3 to add a parse_ini_string() function.

It just works as parse_ini_file(), except it accepts a string instead of
a filename, obviously.

We've been using for months a simple PHP function to do that, and while
I had to modify it to accept constants (as parse_ini_file() does), I
thought it was time to use the core parsers instead of reinventing the
wheel.

I have the same patch available for 5.2, if anyone is interested.

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into PHP !

Olivier

    In general I think it's good to add that function, a few comments below.
    +static
    +ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO_EX(arginfo_parse_ini_string, 0, 0, 1)
    + ZEND_ARG_INFO(0, str)
    If you come up with something might a bit more verbose (same below in
    the prototype)

    [..]
    +/* {{{ proto array parse_ini_string(string str [, bool
    process_sections [, int scanner_mode]])
    + Parse configuration string */
    +PHP_FUNCTION(parse_ini_string)
    +{
    + char *string = NULL, *str = NULL;
    + int str_len = 0;
    please use tabs for indention, not spaces
    + zend_bool process_sections = 0;
    + long scanner_mode = ZEND_INI_SCANNER_NORMAL;
    + zend_ini_parser_cb_t ini_parser_cb;
    +
    + if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "s|bl",
    &str, &str_len, &process_sections, &scanner_mode) == FAILURE) {
    + RETURN_FALSE;
    + }
    +
    + /* Set callback function */
    + if (process_sections) {
    + BG(active_ini_file_section) = NULL;
    + ini_parser_cb = (zend_ini_parser_cb_t)
    php_ini_parser_cb_with_sections;
    + } else {
    + ini_parser_cb = (zend_ini_parser_cb_t)
    php_simple_ini_parser_cb;
    + }
    +
    + /* Setup string */
    + string = (char *) emalloc(str_len + 1);
    + strcpy(string, str);
    + *(string + str_len + 1) = '\0';
    Is that copy really needed? Where is the copy free'd?
    If doing the copy please use strlcpy instead of strcpy. About strlcpy
    see[1].
