Matomo/Ini

Read and write INI configurations.

Build Status Latest Version

Installation

composer require matomo/ini

Why?

PHP provides a parse_ini_file() function to read INI files.

This component provides the following benefits over the built-in function:

Usage

Read

$reader = new IniReader();

// Read a string
$array = $reader->readString($string);

// Read a file
$array = $reader->readFile('config.ini');

Troubleshooting

unexpected BOOL_TRUE in Unknown on line X

The PHP default implementation of read_ini_file does not allow bool-ish values as keys in when reading ini files.

Data like yes = "Yes" results in the following error:

Syntax error in INI configuration: syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in Unknown on line 6

To prevent from that error, please switch to the custom ini reader implementation by using:

$reader = new IniReader();
$reader->setUseNativeFunction(false);

Write

$writer = new IniWriter();

// Write to a string
$string = $writer->writeToString($array);

// Write to a file
$writer->writeToFile('config.ini', $array);

The Ini component is released under the LGPL v3.0.
